whitetailtrax Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Last week I purchased my first ever new rifle and wouldn't you know it isn't even for me! I finally saved up the cash to buy my son his first deer/elk rifle. We went with the Remington Model 7 Youth in 7mm-08. What a sweet little gun! He will use it for a couple years before passing it down to his younger brother and then handed down one more time to my youngest. That gun will get a lot of use over the years. Can't wait to get a scope mounted and start shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnoliaHunter Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 good gun I got one for my wife 2 yrs ago and she loves it. You might want to look at putting a recoil pad on it though because it kicks alot more than I thought it would, more than my 742 30-06 does. We tried several and ended up with the Simms. I can ring a 8" gong at 350 yards all day with it. NOTE: We got the best results with Winchester Ballistic Silvertips, .98" group for a 3 shot group.

johnf Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: good gun I've got an 11 month old son. Are you going to be done with that gun in about 10 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] You are wise to ask now - believe me! I looked hard for a used one and couldn't find one or was always a day late. You'll have to remind me in ten years ok I know that gun will hold its resale value well, which made it easier to spend the $$ on a new one.

AJ Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Re: good gun The little Model 7 is not just a kids gun. You can always get a stock with adult length of pull to fit them well into their hunting career. I happen to have a pair of them myself. One in 243 Win and one in 308 Win. They sure are nice when walking long distances and covering a lot of ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
