Remington 7. 83 Review The Hunting Gear Guy. Ive wanted to do this review since the 7. SHOT Show. I feel like Remingtons 7. I was excited at the prospect of a new budget bolt action rifle to compete with the Savage Axis. What I noticed, when I read reviews, was how most people spoke about the relation between this rifle and the Remington 7. Remington strategically chose to develop this rifle. To be frank, this rifle has nothing to do with the 7. Remington, and everything to do with the Marlin XL7. Remingtons parent company purchased Marlin back around the time when Marlin released the XL7, and this is Remingtons version of that rifle. From the Remington Cross. Fire system, which is identical or minorly improved from Marlins Pro Fire, to the barrel nut, crown and more, this is very much Remingtons take on a Marlin rifle and not a next generation or lower cost 7. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, the Marlin X7s are known for good accuracy, great trigger, and low price. At 3. 39 in the US or 4. Canada it also makes for a better rifle than the 7. SPS or 7. 00.

Either that, or Ill adjust the trigger a bit more to try to get rid of the creep. To be fair, my Axis had a lot more creep in the factory trigger, was a lot heavier, and was non adjustable. These adjustable safety triggers are a breath of fresh air compared to the old style, gritty, heavy triggers that most hunting rifles used to come with. Remington 7. 83 Magazine. This is new and was not something present in the Marlin X7 rifles, and its pretty good for the budget rifle categorySome plastic, for sure, but metal in the right places and a nice, secure seating mechanism in the rifle. The back of the mag has a spot welded angled bit of metal that sturdily holds the rear of the mag in place. If youre in a hunting shop, compare it to the crappy little plastic nub on the back of the Ruger American magazine and it will be obvious who has the better retention system.

To say the least, the mag retention and release on the 7. I/41E7QZvrbtL.jpg' alt='How To Install A Bipod On A Remington 770 7Mm' title='How To Install A Bipod On A Remington 770 7Mm' />Ruger Americans and Savage Axis hands down. The mag itself is a fairly conservative staggered, double stack box mag. I wanted to like the Rugers cool rotary mag, but it was retained so poorly and rattled so much that I couldnt. Usability and Ergonomics. There are a few things to note in the usability and ergonomics department on this rifle. The plastic itself is kind of grippy and the stock is rather beefy. You have to put a decent amount of pressure on the forend to get it even close to touching the free floating barrel. Among the inexpensive bolt action rifles, the 7. I attribute that to the slightly thicker Magnum contour barrel and meaty stock. The Remington 7. 83 comes with a 2 position, non bolt locking safety located just rear of the bolt. Its not as convenient as a tang safety and the detent is quite loud and clicky. Id say its better than the Ruger Americans stiff tang safety, but a far cry from the Axis whisper quiet tang safety. The bolt handle is flat, which didnt really change how I used it at all. One piece I really like on this rifle was the spring loaded, one way bolt release. Its very easy to use and pretty much perfect. The buttpad on the rifle is nice and squishy and a good add on in my opinion. Quality. You can tell that some corners got cut with rifle. From opening the box and seeing pretty much nothing inside except the cheapest packing style possible, you know that this is a budget rifle. Im not sure if its a Remlin issue, but check your rifle over before buying. Several that I saw had problems that I wouldnt have wanted to deal with. One had a bolt that was incredibly stiff to turn and would have been a complete pain in the ass to use while hunting. These are stiff turning bolts, and not nearly as slick as a Savage or the Americans 3 lug bolt head. Another clear cost cutting solution was the molded in, plastic sling studs. They dont offer the range of motion that typical sling studs offer. Unlike other rifles of this cost category, the 7. Rem 7. 00 bases or Weaver 3. One of the reviews I read noted that they didnt like the plastic bolt handle on the 7. Note its not plastic, its metal. Maybe that changed at some point or the reviewer was thinking of a different rifle. And like other budget rifles, the trigger guard is plastic as well. Remington 7. 83 Specifications.
