dont know the date of birth or if its original or not but a 7mag bdl in good condition is worth at least 400 bucks up here and probably closer to 500. Great gun in a great caliber. I have the same gun myself.

  Since you have the serial number call remington and they will be happy to tell you what year your rifle was made.  They have great service and you shouldnt be on hold for very long if at all so have the SN ready.

Gary,

Did you check the barrel date codes with the sticky at the top of this section?  You should find your answer there.

The gun was made in 1968. and remington said if the gun is in good condition it is worth some good money. but i think iam gonna hold on to it and hand it down to my son as my father did with me  :)

Some of the 7mags at the time had stainless barrels, if its showing some wear at the crown try some cold bluing, if it dont take its stainless, they do bring a premium.     ed
