Fella I hunted with this fall had one....in .300 SAUM....nice rifle....a tad shorter....but in all sincerity not a lot lighter than a M-700 SA. I'm considering one as well.....but in the CDL model. and in the .300 WSM chamber. I have a Rem M-700 SA that could use a new #1 contour in .284 Win....IMO that would be preferable to the M-7.....I just haven't gone ahead with it.....IMO the M-7 is a fine rifle....but over estimated as the lightweight carbine it started out to be! IMO it's also overpriced but that's a lesser issue! /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

The M-7 is available in the .350 Rem mag.....and that's worth considering if one likes the larger diameter bullets.....Not sure if it's also available in the 6.5 mag.... /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

They are nimble little rifles. They feel a bit light in the muzzle if you're also shooting standard 700s but it's not a real big deal. My son made our longest shot on a mulie with one --the old 18.5" barrel-- in 7-08 with a 2x7 scope. 284 long steps. One shot with a 140gr NP or Grand Slam, I forget which. Aim for the exit hole | |||

They are very nice rifles when terrain is tough and weight is a factor. Fitted with a 1.5 - 5 scope , make a graet wood rifle for deer, etc. I have shot at least one that will shoot sub MOA ( bedded & free floated ) I have shot targets out to 300 yards with consistanly good results. The rifle is a ..308 win. It is too bad they dont make all models with irons , I like irons on all my hunting rifles. | |||

I have the Model 7 in 7mm-08 with the Mannlicher stock and it's a great little rifle albeit not as light as you would think. It's the only pretty rifle I own. I also own a Savage Sierra carbine in 7mm-08 that I reach for most of the time and for accuracy, weight and durability and reliability, I prefer it to the Remington product hands down.  | |||

The Mod7's with the 18 and 20" barrels are one of my most favorite rifles. I have shot them in 223, 243, 6mmRem, 7mm08, several 308's and a 350 Rem Mag form the Custom Shop. I have shot several of the 308's on paper to 600 yards and to 800 yards on steel. All of them have been very accurate. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

The only one I ever had was the original with iron sights in 7mm-08. Sold it to a friend of mine who has used it for the last 15 years or so. It is his all-time favorite rifle and calibre. | |||
