Yeah, I've looked at the model 7, just can't for the life of me figure why I cant get a 700 in blue/walnut in 308. I mean do any of y'all think they sell more 300 RUM's than they would 308s in the bdl?

Reason I'm looking is I've got a couple of semi auto 308s and want a bolt rifle in 308 to complement them. Got lots of ammo, dies, etc. really want a classic looking bolt action. I love the rem 700 hence my search. I've been hunting with 700s all my life and just can't bring myself to look at anything else.

So, anyone have any experience with the model 7? I know the action is supposedly a shortened 700 action, I just don't know much about them.

Thanks
