My model seven is the prefect rifle forstalking or carting a long ways. It is an older.one with 18" barrel. Put a synthetic stock on it and a 2-7 leuplod on it. Can carry it all day and don't know you have it. It is in 7/08. The model seven in synthetic is a.good.choice to look at if a short action is ok with you. The youth model has a 18" and the full size is 20" barrel.
