Hi:

Was the Model Seven ever made in a left hand model?

Not to my knowledge or I would have owned one.

I had one built that is a model 700 short action with a 20 hart barrel on a mcmillan model 7 stock.  It shoots about .5 at 100 yards, but I would have never spent $2,250 if I could have had one of them for $600.  I am a remington fan, but at the time, I would have considered any of the major walk about styles such as the browning micro hunter, but I don't believe those were made left hand until later.

Remington in my opinion has a good product (but it was better years ago), but their attitude stinks.  I believe their attitude is that they are the big kid on the block and we will take what they give us and thats it.  There customer service and custom shop were a bunch of jerks the last time I called them a couple of years ago.

Also,  I do think their custom shop does make the model 7 custom ks in left hand for about $1,100.

To kinda highjack the thread, the custom shop has a model 7 with a mannlicher stock with a msrp of $1300 that I like the looks of.  I am given to understand that if it comes out of the custom shop, the barrel is hand picked, and the action, etc. And the fitting is done by their best men.  In other words, you're supposed to be getting the best of the best.  If you could get them to flip the handle over and still bring it in for that $1300, it might be worth it. 
What is the difference between the model 7 action and the model 700 short action???
