Having an itch for a long range rifle, being a 7MM fan I would appricate thoughts on the avove mentioned rounds,
This would be a re bbl. as I'm one of the blessed few that needs the bolt on the left side :

Thank you, interesting reading and "food for thought" reguarding the long vs short actions with the 175 MK's

Baddog,

i started with a 280, 700bdl rem bbl, it was ok shot about .6" consistantly after free floating epoxy beding etc.

I wanted a little more range so i went to the 280AI rebarrel hart bbl 1x9 twist, GreatGreat result, .350" groups, 3140fpswith 140Nosler bt and 140 Sierra sbt, both shot to same point ofimpact and accurcy,using h4350 and h 4831.

i hunt in Wy where the ranges run up 600 and average 300-400 on the kills i have had, my son did the same and we have had consistant 1 shot kills in these ranges.

I strongly suggest if you want 600-700 yd gun and need it where you hunt this is a great choice.
