hey guys,
first off id like to thank all the members here for their info. this is by far the most informative group of guys on any shooting forum ive seen!
enough of that. ive never owned or even shot a 7mm rem mag, but i can get a helluva deal on a brand new Rem 700 police in 7mm from a local shop.
i just got back from colorado elk hunting and i want to get a rifle more suited for large game. i used my rem 700 in 270 for my kill but id like something a little larger. im hard core into varmint shooting but this elk hunt got me thinking about big game a little more.
seeing how im into long range varmint shooting ive of course been thinking about building something to anchor those bigger animals,deer and antelope)at long range. so when i remembered that deal on the 700pss i was thinking maybe that one gun could be a dual purpose gun for elk at medium range and the deer and lopes at longer ranges.
ive had very good success with a couple factory remington and savage rifles with my handloading, so im sure if the 7mm rem mag is a decent cartridge i can get it to shoot. so anyone with experience with the 7mm rem mag please chime in and lemme know what you think.
thanks,
jeremy
