Thanks for the chuckle !!

Nope.... you can keep that $12....

It's $5 you stupid phuqq.

LW's look like a go with the SWFA, or are you thinking otherwise?

You guys better learn to listen to Tanner.

Those are Lows and they work good for me, I like keeping it down low to the comb.

You certainly get all the spacing.

How about a 280AI?.......

It's the same as a 270, depending if the bullet is 20% of my paycheck, ask Dogshitter.

Tanner,
Nice rig. How are you liking that gamescout?

I ordered one for my 260 with the edge fill.
Total rig weight should be around 7lbs. Thinkin light weight long range mountain rifle.

Less diameter.... Less mass... and Less BC....

Is the same as Greater diameter.... Greater mass.... and Greater BC....

Less of everything is the same as more of everything....

Depending on if the spreadsheet is correct.... ask 16whore....

Back in 1962,the 7 Rem Mag squished the 264 Win Mag, the 280 Remington (the 280AI was around but no one paid any attention),and who knows what else. Even my favorite 7mm Mashburn never saw the light of day because of it.

Thoroughly field tested on all North American BG animals for several years before introduction;not invented on some engineers drawing board.

The reason given for wiping out the others was heavier bullets and higher velocities and that sold to the public in a big way. Wiped out the others overnight .

Bullets and scopes have gotten mo better.....the cartridge is Top Ten for BG worldwide. What's not to like?

Conversations about neophytes who can's shoot are silly nonsense. Make a cartridge popular and it will eventually end up in the hands of people who cant shoot. Look at how many dopes lug a 30/06.....

I saw a 7 mag work on a critter once.

A 6.5mm 147 ELDM has less diameter, less mass and less BC than a 7mm 162 Amax.

I'll bet you did....

The 7MM Rem Mag never made a lot of sense to me.

For long range deer, I use a .270 Win. Less recoil, just as flat shooting, and kills deer out to 500 yards like lightning. I won't generally take shots longer than that.

For elk, I use a .338 win mag. Not as flat shooting, but delivers lots more foot lb. If you ever aspire to hunt large bear, this is your cartridge. Most of the elk I have seen wounded and not recovered have been shot with a 7 Mag.

I guess if you were looking for an elk rifle and never wanted to go bear hunting, or you wanted a bigger bear rifle like a 375 H&H, the 7 Mag might be a good choice.

I'm a fan. Recoil feels the same as a 30-06 to me and I've yet to own one that didn't shoot under an inch. I've knocked down several critters with the 150 gr Ballistic Tip.

No kidding. He may be young a ugly, but he's obviously very good at whacking stuff, big stuff too.

Gross!

A few years back, I was wringing out the best a 7x57 has to offer. I was scolded and told to get a 7RM. After using it on several big game animals, I said to myself, schidt I did that with my 7x57.
