Yeah, pic's would be cool.  I like the older M7's as well as the M7 CDL.  I'd like one in 7mm-08 Rem. or 308 Win.

7-08 is prob the ultimate model seven caliber.308 as well.mine is in 243,and a older one with the skinny barrel.if i was goin to get a new one id hold out for a 260 or 6.5x55.if they even make them.

Don't have the best images of them but here are some I had already assigned URLs to.

Model Seven Predator on the left.


Maybe a better shot of it.

Thanks Graybeard, saved me the trouble!
My 223 shoots 1/2" , mounted a Burris 3x9x40 on the 243, gettig ready to go sight it in, but Black Powder opened today in Oklahom, so won't get to shoot much.
 Had a one antlered spike walk up within 20 yards of me this morning, he was sure nosey.hahaha

It shoots too! 1/2", had to look very close, 2 of the shots were in one slightly larger hole. A guy at the local gunshop keeps buying Remington's, keeps them for a couple of months, then Tades them in. He traded the 243 for a 25-06.   I own 3 of his now, 223, 22-250 (triangle shaped barrel) and the 243, all are very accurate..............

     I upgraded my sons 7mm-08 youth rifle model 7 to an adult stock so  the barrel is even shorter on a youth rifle not sure if it is made still but his has an 18" barrel. I have found that slow burning powders handloading create some pyrotechnic display in low light. I also own a 350 mag in model 7 both rifles have the steal sights which is allways good to have as a backup. I'd buy another one if they put it out in 6.5 creedmore, with a 1-8 twist.

Shot a 1" 3 shot triangle  at 200 yards yesterday using Hornady 40 grain Vmax with the Model 7. They are GREAT riflles. I'm finding that the 40 grain VMax's in Hornady or Fiocchi are super accurate rounds in all my 223's...........
