Remington Model Seven Laminate .223

[cableguy]

Hello and good day!


To give myself a break from AR's, I thought I would try out this new Remington Model Seven in .223.

I love bolt guns and this scaled down version of the infamous model 700 is sure to be a joy.

Here's some web specs...

First thing that stands out is the gorgeous laminate wood stock.

Secondly, the cool looking jeweled bolt is very smooth.

And thirdly, this x-mark trigger is crisp and light with no take up.

...and after a few minutes of sighting in the irons, I rattled off 5 quick ones and the results made me happy.

I paid just under $1000 shipped from IRUNGUNS and to summarize....

- very well built
- well balanced
- smooth action
- nice trigger
- accurate for irons....might scope it in the future

Nice review, those Model Seven's sure are sweet!

Thanks for all the close up pics!

Love that stock! Wonder if it comes in a lefty...

Remington still make some great stuff.

 

[cableguy]

Indeed.

I was on the fence with a Tikka T3 but no one in town had or was able to get one with irons and with a wood stock.

Glad I didn't...this was much nicer.

Speaking also on the Tikka, T3x are soon to hit the market. With more improvements...ie: metal bolt shroud.

But back to the Seven...I do like the shorter bolt over the Tikka's one size only bolt. Makes for shorter and quicker lock time.

In terms of accuracy, I'm sure if I throw some glass on I can match Tikkas claim of moa.

The 1:9" twist bbl is a nice selling feature. Good twist for TSX bullets and deer hunting.

Add a little VX2 2x7 and it will be a perfect package for walking around hunting.

Beautiful rifle. Had a Model 7 in 7mm SAUM. Nice handling for sure.
Looking for a used in .223.

Beautiful. Model 7 is perfect for smaller calibers, I should start looking for one of these myself.

Very nice rifle, I had one of the early Mod. 7s.
Do you know what the barrel twist is ?

 

[cableguy]

Yes....it's 1:9 twist

A good compromise for a wide range of loads.

Love the Model 7 and yours looks fantastic.

I see one in .308 in my future.

Your future will be joyous!

Thats good, Thanks cable guy, my older Mod. 7 was 1/12 so this is an appreciated improvement.
My T3 223 is 1/8 so not much difference, both will handle heavier bullets up to a point.
