Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles How good is a 7mm remington mag for a longer range rifle.

I used to hunt in Ozona Texas in the late 70's when the Redfield Accutrac scopes first came out. I had a stand on a hill. There was a windmill-water trough down hill 575 yards. The A dial on that scope fits a 7 mag with a 140 grain bullet perfectly. It was no problem to hit deer at that water trough when the wind wasnt blowing. If you only had one deer rifle the 7 rem mag would be my choice. A 300 win mag would be my second. Just my opinion.
