The Model 7 is a short action.

The one in my cabinet (unused for many years) has a defective trigger/safety mechanism. Remington refuses to repair or acknowledge the problem.

I applaud the safety consciousness of everyone who agrees that gun safety is the responsibility of the owner/shooter.

I doubt anyones claim that the muzzle of their rifle has never been pointed in an unsafe direction (loaded or unloaded).

I respectfully submit that some problems do exist with the design of the 721/722, 700 and Model 7 trigger/safety mechanism. I do this because the same design is used on the 600. I experienced this problem on one of those also. I do not wish to sound argumentive, but their are a lot of young or inexperienced owners/shooters out their, I would like to see them safe long enough to form and express their opinions.

My mistake on the Model 7. The rifle I was talking about in 30-06 is a Mountain Rifle which has the pencil thin barrel and small laminated stock which is so much like a Model 7.

The rest still applies.

Kailua custom,
Is that a Leupold scope? Its nice to see that I am not the only guy that still likes the compact 20mm tubes. I still buy any old Weaver V4.5 or Redfield 5 Star 20mm scope I run across.

I looked on Remington's web site for the recall info. while I can see a recall for a similar problem with the Model 710, I don't see the Model 7 mentioned.
There is also something about changing the safety on other rifles, where you can't uload the rifle with the safety in the "S" position.
Where does it mention the Model 7 trigger problem?

If somone has lost a family member, it sure wasn't because of a bad safety..................
