For a kid’s first rifle, that was a little more reassuring. He never missed his mark with that gun and several deer died. He’s grown now and uses a Rem. CDL .270 but that little synthetic Model 7 is still a special little gun.


I regularly hunt with a Remington Model Seven SS 7-08. I killed my elk this year with it. I love that rifle.
