Would like to purchase a youth model 7mm-08. Can't decide on Brownings
Micro Medallion or Remingtons Model 7 youth.

Any Input?

I went with the Remington mountain rifle just because I thought the Browning was just too pretty to drag thrugh the woods. Both will do the job

They are both great rifles. You really can't lose either way.

I'm partial to Brownings for no reason imparticular.

Go with either, you'll be happy.

Savage makes a youth model 7mm-08 with a comped barrel.

As stated earlier both are good rifles. But also, so is the Savage 11FYCAK. I got one for my grandson in 7-08 and it is a real shooter. Besides having the shorter stock it also has a muzzle brake (adjustable) and a detachable magazine.

I bought my 12 year old son a Ruger Hawkeye All Weather 7mm-08 last year and he took his first deer with it. I think it's avery nice rifle.

I believe you might be thinking about the Micro Hunter ... not the Micro Medallion, as they ( Browning )stopped making the Micro Medallion about 15 or so years ago. If you have found a Micro Medallion , I would jump on it... Other wise I also have a Rem. Model 7 and it is a great gun and the 7mm-08 is a particularly good deer round. I use mine more than just about any other gun for deer.

As another option, the Ruger M77 Compact is a super little gun. I bought the stainless / laminate in .243 and I love it. A 7mm-08 in that gun would be SWEET.

But with any of the three, you cannot go wrong. I own one of each and they are all well made, fine shooting rifles.

Ruger compact in 7mm08.. Check it out with the 16.5 inch barrel and 1 inch shorter LOP..

I like the action better on a Savage 7-08 than the Remington and they are of about the same price. If it is between the Rem. and the Browning, I would take the Browning.

I bought my daughter a 7-08 in the Rem. Model 7. Sweet little gun and the trigger was set very well. If this is for a youth then you may want to reload some ammo with reduced loads. Factory 140 grain ammo had a fair amount of recoil. I ended up loading up some reduced loads using H4895 and 120 gr Nosler BT which shoot like a dream and did a number on the doe she shot last year.
