no it does not. .308 or .243 is the only short action cartridges offered in the 710 or the 770.

The model 7 in 7-08 is a sweet rifle. I don't own one simply because I'm a lefty. I have a Browning Micro Hunter in 7-08 and love it. The recoil is moderate even in this rifle that tips the scales at around 7 lb with scope. I got my grandson a 7-08 in the Savage model FYCAK. This is a youth model with detatchable mag and muzzlebrake. That thing can shoot. It even outshoots the Browning. The only thing is the Browning likes 139 gr bullets and the Savage prefers the 154 grainers so I have to load 2 different loads.

Whatever you do,please stay away from remington model 710-it's worse than anything remington or anybody else has ever came out with.

7mm-08 is hard not to like. You WILL be smitten.... I use a 2x7 on mine.

I own a Remington Model 7 in 7mm-08. I have had it for about 16 years. It has probably been carried morethan any other rifle I own. I primarily bought it because I wanted a short light rifle for using with my climbing stands..... I then liked it so much I started using it in my tower stands too. That one gun has accounted for more dead deer than any others I own. I still use it probably 75 % of the time, and just use the others sparingly to keep them from getting too jealous.

The 7mm-08 is a super deer round. Very accurate and not too bad on recoil, even in that light of a gun. The model 7 is a great gun. It has never given me one bit of trouble.

If I could I would buy a dozen more.... The only other gun I would look at in this catagory of short and light deer guns is the Ruger M77 Compact. I own a stainless / laminate in .243. It too is a super gun, and it is a good looking gun too. It is 35 1/2 " Overall length, with a 16 1/2 ' barrel. They are definitely worth a look, especially since Model 7 's have become so scarce, and the prices have jumped.

I had one in 7mm-08 and sold it.. [:@].. But now have the model 7 in 243.. But I just bought a Ruger Compact in 7mm-08 and talk about short and handy.. Comes with a 16.5 inch barrell and really throws up good. I put 3 shots almost touching at 100 yards with it. And just got it back from the gunsmith who dropped the trigger pull to below 3 lbs..

I had a Model 7 in 308 and have a 7mm-08 BDL, I would love to have a Model 7 in 7mm-08

I have a 7mm-08 700 BDL and I love it. The round is wonderful and the past three years that I've used it I've taken deer every year with single shot. (I did miss one deer cleanly). The BDL is a little heavier than the 7, but I'm still a young buck and don't mind carrying it, and I do think that a little heavier gun is easier to hold steady. If I would have had the money (I paid 350 for my BDL and had less than a box of shells through it) I think a 700 Mountain Rifle in the 7mm-08 would be a perfect rifle.

I have 2 "compact rifles" 1 is a Remington model 7 7mm-08 the other a Ruger compact in 243 my kids shoot both well and they both have taken deer with each gun but the gun they both prefer is the Model 7 it will shoot about 1" @ 100 yds. with federal 140 gr. solid base factory loads.
