Remington 700 versus the model Seven
Uploaded on November 04, 2009I am in the process of buying a new coyote rifle and want to know the differences between the Model 700 and the Model Seven. Also, if anyone has shot both and like one over the other, let me know why. I like both, but want to know some of the specifics please.
Thanks

The size mainly. Model 7 small youth concerning length of pull, model 700 adult LOP. Barrel length is also a consideration. When it comes to velocities. Remington's website has all the specifics. Link: www.remington.com
I have both and love them both. Comes down to personal preference and usages.
Hope this helps,

Sorry, Model 7 is not an youth but it is a smaller scale adult rifle.
I looked on the remington site and maybe I'm missing the link to it, but all I could find was the weight, length, rate of twist, etc. I am wondering if the trigger is the same, same action, and or stock differences. The prices are really close. Thanks for the reply.
DeadYote,
Same action and trigger. Barrel and stock size make up the weight/size difference. If you can get your hands on the two of them before you buy, it would be worth the time if you are looking for fit. The finish meaning quality is really about the same, Model 7 vs. 700
If you are buying a rifle for coyote's you want a heavy 26” barreled gun and Remington only makes those in their Model 700. This heavier gun (Model 700) will help you keep more steady on those small bodied coyotes and the 26” barrel will allow those fast moving bullets to reach their full potential. I own a Model 7 chambered in 7mm-08 and it is a great tree stand gun for deer, it is like carrying around a BB gun...so light. However, the more beefy Model 700’s are definitely the way to go for varmints. If you can afford one the VS SF II is one of the best out there due to the addition of a H.S. Precision stock. If you want a more affordable gun go with the SPS Varmint. The main difference between the two is the VS SF II has a polished stainless barrel with fluting, a H.S. Precision full length bedding block stock, and a jeweled bolt.
The modell 7 is more compact. I shot one in a 308 that kick worse than a 30-06, but it shoots great groups at 100 yards if you dont mind the kick.
I had a Model 7 in 7MM-08 and on the bench it was a shooter, but when I got in the woods it didn't have enough in the front end of the rifle for me to hit anything. The buttstock was plenty big enough but there just isn't enough forend to be a balanced firearm for me. I got rid of mine. Again it shot good off of sandbags. I just couldn't hold it still in the woods. I had a 700 SPS later and it was a lot better balanced firearm. I have found out over the years you can get a firearm too short. I like 20 inch barrels but I like full length stocks.
