7mm remington mag

bought a rem 700 in this caliber for 300. good deal?

sounds like a sore peter deal...you can't beat it

 

[awittmer]

you definantly dont want that gun! You need to sell it to me for $250 right away !
I'd say you got a steal

 

[Yeah]

Sounds like a good snatch of a donor action.

Long action and .540" bolt face spells .257 Roy, which is a death ray.

defintally a good deal. i have one and love it. i agree with yeah if i got another it would probably become a 257 weatherby.

what kinda range is this caliber best suited for?

shooting ability is tested before the 7mm rem mag in most cases. you dont see many on the 1000 yd line but that doesn't mean it cant be done.

the only issue ive found with my 7mm is getting deviation down to accepptable levels, but thats more my error than the calibers

I think the range is limited by what the shooter can do. Killed several deer in Wyoming with my 700 BDL out to 300 yards. I know that's not that far, but it will do much more. Great find!!

had a buddy take one to Africa. He took 7 plains game animals including a Zebra @ about 275 ydsthat nearly dropped in its tracks. 7mm is a very respectable round.

Why would you hunt a Zebra? Wouldn't that be like sneaking up on a horse that has no chance to hid? Or just waiting for one to pull a little girl by in a wagon in the 4th of July parade? Now a zombie Zebra I could understand. But a normal Zebra like Marty in Madagascar. I'm not getting that.

Maybe it had been bitten and hadnt turned yet?

I have an ADL synthetic in 7mm Mag and I love it. It's not *terrible* on the shoulder and ergos are good. I used five rounds of factory ammo to zero and then shot the next 15 into 1.3". It got cold and I've got test loads loaded up but haven't had a chance to test them yet.
