Remington Model 7

[Cossack]

Had one in 7/08. Mine was synthertic, stainless with 20"barrel. Accurate, light, yet handles well. Synthetic stock not ideal; I filled it with minimal expansion liquid insulation foam to stiffen it up and reduce noise. Trigger is very good and fully adjustable if you know what to do. Trigger unsafe rumor is just that. I have/had 5 Remingtons in 700 and Model 7, no problems. The older models (1970's) lock the bolt when on safe, had to be off safe to unload. Several folks - who couldn't keep their mitts out of the trigger then or dropped the gun - apparently had a problem; which they blamed on the gun and sued. That's been fixed long ago. Even the old models can be easily retroed at no cost. No Model 7s affected.
I'd still have the Model 7 if that Kimber Montana hussy hadn't seduced me. Paid substantially more for her to get essentially the same thing only with a 22" barrel and 12 oz lighter, largely due to Kevlar stock and blind mag.
