I want a 7mm rem Mag.

[Hegland]

Somehow I'm sensing that pictures of a #1 or Super Grade will be gracing our forum before long... For whatever it's worth, my vote goes to the M70.

Fotis - your missing a few 7 millers and some 33 ' s also ! Whats up ? Maybe a 280 AI and a 7mm Rem Mag or a 7mm Weatherby Mag or just get a 7 mm STW to cover those 2 and then a 338 Fed for a little 33 and then a 340 Weatherby to fix up the 33 cal problem ! so 4 more and you will be set ! ALSO You could use a 35 cal or 2 maybe a 35 Whelen or a 358 STA ! JMO Cheers RJ

Well, Guy said it. 7MM REm Mag is all the big game rifle you would need. 'Course "need" is not part of this conversation I know some one who has a BAR in 7mmMag that is just scarry accurate. Dont tell me autos wont shoot. Thats where I would go..... Course you do need a 250-3000... CL

Fotis,
The 270 Bee has the 7RM covered in the lighter bullets. You need a heavy 7mm to sling the 168ABLR and the 175ABLR. I suggest a 7mmSTW or a 7mmRUM but only if you want to play with the heavier bullets. Maybe another Ultralight in 257 Bee.

hogwild, that is an absolutely beautiful buck, great buck, long tines and lots of points.

I have owned a 7mm Rem Mag since the first one that I ever saw in 1963! It is a Mark Moon custom that I shoot long range deer with now, which I bought in 1973. Forty years of constant use every summer and deer season and it still is dead accurate and still looks pretty decent as well.

I would be hard pressed to use a 7RUM over a 7STW. The RUM gains 50fps in normal barrel lengths for half the barrel life. I really think the 7-300wm is a better choice because with up to 168's you don't have to infringe on the powder capacity in a standard magazine. In a standard mag length the 7-300wm will run really close to a 7STW using using heavy bullets because it's .230" shorter. The STW will run away from it with a Wyatt extend mag box though.

When you say 7-300wm do you mean the 300 Win mag necked down to 7 mm - a cartridge called the 7 MM Practical :?: RJ

Yes and no. Yes that is the cartridge and no because a 7mm Practical is by a guy in NZ and it has a 30 degree shoulder rather than the 25 degree of the parent case.

You could always order a custom Savage in 7mag.

Fotis, I'll tie together two of your recent threads and solve this for you. Go find a good Colt Light Rifle in 7mmRemMag and be done with it. I suspect it will be a rifle you decide to keep at least through four or five changes of your socks...

 

[HTDUCK]

There is a gap................, but a 7STW seems more your "speed" Fotis

Yep,
Go big or go home ......

 

[russ808]

Fotis,
I thought you had one?
Russ

 

[FOTIS]

No 7mm and no 338.
I think you need a semi-custom 340 Weatherby like the one in the Classifieds.
And, I'd even deliver it personally.

I could arrange for a 7mm Weatherby too if you really wanted one. :mrgreen:

No 223 either? Maybe you need a Savage 112 BVSS in 223. Got one of those for sale too....

got plenty of varminters just not listed.

Sell them all and get a .30-06, a .338 Win. Mag., and a .375H&H.

[FOTIS]

Did you load up the 243 AI for next week's antigoat hunt here?



I can not believe you drew and JD338 and I did not or my kids! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[GeorgeS]

Boredom? That's success you smell, son. :shock:


Yep, all loaded up - 3" high at 100yds., just like the last few times.

The .25-06 is dead on at 100yds., just in case.

I'm going to see how well my .300 BLK subsonics shoot; I may bring that too to take care of some of the prairie dogs and jackrabbits in your backyard. :lol:

I'd probably be money ahead and a few hunts ahead if I did that five to 10 years ago.

Money ahead, and incapable of enjoying it. A wise man has said, "Each new rifle adds a year to life (so long as the wife doesn't get too obstreperous). :mrgreen:
