Our Assessment: The Remington Model Seven is a compact, lightweight bolt-action rifle designed for hunters and shooters who need a quick-handling firearm. Chambered in .17 Remington Fireball, this rifle offers a flat-shooting, high-velocity round that is well-suited for varmint hunting and small-game applications. The cartridge provides excellent accuracy and minimal recoil, making it an excellent choice for precision shooting at extended ranges.
The Model Seven shares much of its design with the legendary Remington 700, known for its strong action and superb accuracy. However, the Model Seven features a shorter overall length, making it ideal for maneuverability in tight brush or from a tree stand. Its internal magazine ensures reliable feeding, and the rifle is drilled and tapped for optics, allowing shooters to customize their setup.
This rifle is an excellent addition for hunters and collectors alike, especially those who appreciate a well-balanced, highly accurate rifle chambered in a unique and effective cartridge. Whether you’re looking for a lightweight hunting rifle or a precision varmint shooter, this Model Seven is a solid choice. Please see our high-quality photos and good luck on your bid! -M.C.
