RE: remington model 7
I had a Model 7 LS, in .308. I loved it. Great rifle.....and the only one I regret not having now. Mine would do 3/4" groups, with the right ammunition. They are great hunting rifles - but, the barrel is thin, so it heats up quickly. So, if you also intend to do a lot of shooting at the range....the Model 7 would not be the best choice. For hunting, however, especially when long-distance carry is part of the program....I'd highly recommend the Model 7. For that matter, when sitting in a tree stand for long periods, holding a rifle.... the 7 would be great for that, as well.
