Remington 700 vs. Seven??

Any experts here on the Seven? I’ve never seen one.

Comparing the specs on a CDL it looks like the Seven is just a couple inches shorter and roughly a pound lighter. Is it the same action as a 700, made in the same place?

Over the years Remington has had some cheaper offerings than the 700; but this Seven has a $10 higher MSRP?

I'm not an expert, but I can tell you the Seven is an awesome little rifle. I've had one for years and love it. It's very nice to hunt with because of the light weight and short barrel.

might consider 700P in your decision

Thanks, but I have 700 VLS, I'm looking at old school Walnut/Blue stuff.

Be careful with those 700's. Many can be tricked to fire when the safety is pushed off. I have seen this first hand on two different rifles that were bought used and bone stock. Remington had a huge recall and corrected the issue but there are many still out there. The 700 has the fastest lock time around and is a fine action

Back in the 90's I sold a 7 (308) to my brother as a dealer & mounted a 2x7 Burris on it for him. Back then they were every bit as nice as a BDL. It was Remington's way of bringing back the 600/660 Mohawk actions with out the dog handle bolt. In 308 the little gun will surly let you know its there. The heavy Burris made some head way on the recoil. Years latter he was offered a number he could not refuse for the set up. Back in those days the only issue I saw with the triggers was gummed up trigger lube except for one 700 that the sear angle was slightly negative contact causing slam fires. Latter on in the 2000's Rem really screwed the triggers up with a new casting with terrible pivot pin hole specs. I'v not worked on a newer Remington trigger in years. Hopefully they got their act together on them by now.
