Also known as: Remington Model 7, Model Seven
Overview
The Remington Model Seven is a compact, lightweight bolt-action hunting carbine introduced in 1983. Built on a true short action that is essentially a scaled-down Model 700, it was designed for hunters wanting a handy, quick-pointing rifle and effectively replaced the earlier Model 600 carbine. It feeds from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate and, on later production, uses the externally adjustable X-Mark Pro trigger. Offered over its life in more than 18 configurations across walnut, synthetic, laminate and H-S Precision carbon-fiber stocks.

Origin
Country of origin: United States
Notes
Original 1983 rifles had an 18-inch free-floated barrel; most later standard models use a 20-inch barrel. A 1987 Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass version trimmed weight to about 5 lb 4 oz. Production effectively halted following Remington's 2020 bankruptcy; status under RemArms is ambiguous.
Background
The Model Seven borrowed its action from the Model 700 and its short, handy carbine concept from the Model 600 it replaced, giving deer hunters a sub-six-pound rifle that pointed like a shotgun.
