I believe there was a time when 18" barrels were available.

old single shots

The older models did have an 18 1/2" barrel.Not sure what year they changed to 20" but would guess about 5 years ago.

COONASS

Are the "old" 18-18.5" barrels as accurate
as the "new" 20" barrels in the 7mm-08...
if not sure, what would you guess ????????

You are probably from Louisiana if:
1) You've ever worn shorts at christmas time.
2) You learned to drive a boat before you could drive a car.
3) You can name all your 3rd cousins.
4) You plan your wedding around hunting season and LSU football.
5) stay tune more to come.......

I own the same thing. Model 7 youth in 7mm/08 I bought in 93 and it has the shorter everything. I didn't know that they lengthened the youth model. The shorter stock is especially handy when I have to get around a bulky winter coat to get a shot on game.

COONASS

NEEDCOLD.......What barrel do you have 18 or 20"
how accurate is it...........

Finally got a reply from Rem. It was 1999
