Remington makes basically 3 action lengths. A long action and short action 700. The 7 is basically the same gun with an even shorter action, but with the ejection port opened up. To do this they had to shorten the rear receiver bridge. Early 7's required a 1 piece base since they only drilled 1 hole on the rear receiver bridge. Newer guns have 2 holes, placed very close together. Just as there is no reason to charge different prices for a long action and short action, there is no reason to charge more or less for the 7. Assuming they are the same level of finish.
