What’s Included
- Two-piece cross-slot scope bases (installed)
The Model 7000 action uses a five-lug, rear-locking bolt with an approximate 60-degree lift for compact bolt throw. The bolt body is jeweled and the bolt knob is polished, complementing the rifle’s high-polish blued steel receiver.
Its 26-inch heavy-profile, sightless barrel is finished to a high-polish blue. Chambered in .22-250 Rem., the rifle feeds from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate for a stated 3+1 capacity.
The receiver is drilled and tapped, and this example has two-piece cross-slot scope bases installed. The rifle features an adjustable trigger marked with U.S. Patent 4,005,540 on the receiver.
The deluxe walnut stock is gloss-finished and styled with a Monte Carlo comb and cheekpiece, skip-line checkering, a contrasting fore-end tip with white spacer, and a ventilated recoil pad with white spacer. Sling swivel studs are fitted, and the round black grip cap carries an eagle medallion. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
Markings include "Made in Japan by Nikko" and "Golden Eagle Firearms, Houston, Texas" on the receiver, along with a gold inlaid 'Golden Eagle.' on the side plate. Production is attributed to the 1976–1982 era.
