    Model Seven Youth Stock

    bpl, Thanks for the link. I looked at Gunbroker yesterday and enetered a few keywords into their search function and didn't find this stock. I did it again after reading your post and still came up empty. I really need to learn how to do a better search!

    Model Seven Youth Stock

    I would like to buy a new Remingtom Model Seven CDL for my son. Does anyone know where I can buy a new or used Remington synthetic youth stock for it? By looking at Remington's website, it appears that they no longer offer the Model Seven youth model. In addition, I've read that the iron...

    Model 70 or Model 7?

    One of my main concerns is the 12 year-old boy dilema. By the time hunting season rolls around that year, he will be 12 1/2. I can really envision him going from less than 5' tall to perhaps nearly a foot taller in a year or two after that. Money is an object, and so I can't really afford to...

    Model 70 or Model 7?

    I'm all ears if there is a good case to be made for the Ruger, or any other rifle such as the Weatherby Vanguard. I suspect that any modern rifle is more than serviceable for a 12 year-old boy's first deer rifle. I still have the rifle my dad gave me nearly 35 years ago. It's a pre-64 Model...

    Model 70 or Model 7?

    If I spent about $500 on the Vanguard youth, what do you think I could get out of it in a few years if I decided to sell/trade it?

    Model 70 or Model 7?

    I didn't give much thought to the Ruger. For as long as I remember, I have always been under the impression that their triggers are terrible and their accuracy is only so-so. Is/was this the case, or is this one of those old rumors that aren't deserved but won't go away? How hard would it...

    Model 70 or Model 7?

    I know a lot of kids start off with a .243 as their first deer rifle. I'd be curious to compare the ballistics, especially energy, of the 7mm-08 managed recoild loads with standard factory .243 loads. I was thinking that they would be an option for the first year or two.

    What calibers would you have Wincheste(FHN) chamber the Model 70's in

    Based upon the thread I started comparing the Model 70 to the Model 7, I would say the .260 Rem.

    Model 70 or Model 7?

    My son will be 11 years old in about two months. He is probably about average height, compared with his classmates, but he looks as though we only feed him once or twice per week. I was thinking about getting him a rifle for his upcoming birthday, but I may wait until next Christmas to see if...

    Model 70 or Model 7?

    Thanks. A few months ago, I saw a segment on American Rifleman TV regarding FN's entry into the auto pistol market. The FN factory guy made it a point to say that the FN pistol's workmanship and materials really warrant a much higher price (comparable to Sig prices) than what they are selling...

    Model 70 or Model 7?

    Hello, I am starting to ponder what rifle I will buy for my son as his first "deer rifle". From the research I have been doing, I believe I have narrowed the choice of calibers down to either a .260 Rem. or a 7mm-08. For some reason, I seemed to have narrowed down the rifle to either a...

    Help with Inaccurate Pre-64 M70

    "Sounds like BS to me." I'm sorry, but I'm not a Model 70 historian. I'm just a regular guy with an old bolt action rifle that isn't accurate enough for hunting but has sentimental value. I own a pre-64 Model 70 that has no iron sights, a custom tapered barrel, and, perhaps, a shortened...

    Help with Inaccurate Pre-64 M70

    Good ideas, all. The scope thing really intrigues me. I believe the scope did not come with the rifle and was mounted later, which could explain why it shot for the original owner but won't shoot for me. It is a Redfield 2x-7x, which is the same exact sope that is on my .35 Rem. I think they...

    Help with Inaccurate Pre-64 M70

    Hello, I have a Pre-64 model 70 in .270 Win that my dad gave me as a gift when I was a boy. He purchased the used rifle from a good friend and rifleman. The rifle was customized into a sporter model by having the barrel tapered, and, I'm not sure, but it may have been shortened as well...
