Thread: The model 7 in your life

I see Remington Arms new owners have started up the Illion plant again, albeit in a limited sense (shotguns only). The media releases say they are planning to add different lines to the plant over time and hopefully they'll get back to full capacity.

You'd hope they would continue with the Model 7 with some updates, as the market for mini/micro short action rifles is strong. It would be a great shame to lose this design forever.

My money is that we'll eventually see Model 7s with super-lightweight stocks.

Yeah hopefully they make them again, pretty neat little rifles. If they can make them as nice as they made this older M7 it'll be awesome. Remington seemed to have a hit and miss reputation, but when you get a good one, they're pretty good.

My 7mm Saum, Dads old 243 and my newer version M7 223 all must have really good barrels, as they all shoot really well. But ive certainly heard the stories about the bad ones too.
