The Golden Eagle 7000 action uses a rear-locking, multi-lug bolt with a short lift (commonly cited around 60°) for easy scope clearance. The bolt body is jeweled, and the trigger is gold-tone, reflecting the model’s premium presentation. Feeding is from an internal box magazine with a 3-round capacity in .338 Win. Mag.
The rifle wears a high-polish blued finish over steel and a 26" barrel suited to the cartridge. The receiver is drilled and tapped and has no iron sights. The top of the receiver bridge carries gold-filled Golden Eagle script that complements the model’s themed details.
The walnut stock features a Monte Carlo comb with cheekpiece, skip-line checkering, a contrasting forend tip, and a grip cap with a gold eagle medallion. Two stock cross-bolts reinforce the inletting, while a ventilated recoil pad and sling swivel studs add practical field utility. Length of pull is 13.5.
