Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Who has a 7 mag?

Meaning the 7mag and the wife but yes, I still have the other M70, its a 9.3x62 now though.

I have two. One, is a Rem 700 sps. It shoots 160-grain Partition into 1/2-inch, on any day that my eyes cooperate. I have used it on numerous elk without issue. I have a Savage 110, with a Criterion barrel and custom stock that does the same with about any load. Both are left-handed rifles. I started with the 7 mag, as I got one by default in a trade. I shot them exclusively for years, until I started down the path of having numerous cartridges. I have determined that magnums are not necessary for the lions share of my hunting and they are not efficient cartridges at all-also known as expensive to shoot very much. I hardly ever shoot them anymore, as I spend relatively little time on the range and most of my hunting is done with other cartridges-6.5 Creed, 260 Rem,.270, .308 and 30-06.

I keep tellling myself that I should sell them, and then I take them out and shoot them again. Back in the safe they go!

Right, I have one.

have two mid 80's Rem 700 BDL's but I don't hunt moose with 7mm's , prefer the pop n drop guillotine execution action of the 30's & 338's

and the 7mm Rem Mag doesn't have the balls to push the 195-97 gr bullets at a useful velocity & forget trying to load the 226 gr 7mm bullets

ive got one..

a LH rem700.

never even kilt a deer with it, buddy borrowed it and did kill a doe.

6.5mm is the life for me...

I'll make it easy,for you fhuqking CLUELESS Droolers. Hint.

An OEM Rem 700 7mm Rem mag boasts a 3.690" COAL and is twisted/throated,to whistle .796 BC 180 ELD mag fed Smooches at 2900fps+. Read that again. Now one more time. Hint.

That's all the things that Winchester,Tikka,Salvage,Sako,Ruger and the like can NOT do. Hint.

Just saying.

Hint................

you still jacking to wHorenady schit dingleberries ? real long range shooters don't slum with that 3rd rate cheap garbage

I prefer 3300 fps with 195 Bergers (3.656" coal) & 197 gr SMK's from my 7mm LRH .... & yes it's on a Rem 700 that was originally in 7mm Rem Mag, it finally grew up to be a real "long range" 7mm

Next time I see a shooting star my wish will be you two become besties..

I have one - Model 70 Stainless. Love that rifle. My primary deer gun. 25-06 m70 is its backup.

I first started deer hunting with my dad’s unscoped 32 Special Marlin. Not the best deer rifle for the plains.

I borrowed a 7 mag for a couple of years and really got to like it. But I missed a lever action, so when I could finally buy my own rifle I bought a Browning BLR in 7 mag. That was one mule kicking SOB - stock didn’t really work that well for a scoped 7mm. Didn’t keep it long, moved on the the M70 and never looked back. I suppose I’ve had it close to 30 years now.

Swamptard,

I REALLY "believe" you and you can nearly "convince" yourself...you "lucky" kchunt. Almost. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............

First bolt rifle was a Ruger M77 in 7mm RM. All I had for big game for the first 20 years and have never "needed" anything else. With lots of other options now (40 years later), the 7mm Rm still does everything I want a big game rifle to do.

That said, I do like to use my other rifles as well so the 7mm RM gets used a lot less than in the past. (Too many rifles, too few hunting trips.) Looking at making matters worse by barreling a naked Savage 110 action with a 7mm PRC barrel once brass becomes available.

Yep. Too many rifles, too few trips. Got one bow, so it gets to go every time during bow season

I have a Rem 700 BDL in 7 mag. She’s a shooter!!

This thread reminds me a lot of a story a good friend told me several years ago. He worked in the large gun department of a local sporting goods store for many years, and just about every year a hunter (or two or three) would show up at the counter and ask for a box of Seven Em Em ammo. My friend would ask which kind?--and the guy would look puzzled, because as far as he knew there only one Seven Em Em cartridge existed, which of course was the 7mm Remington Magnum.

Most of the posts here suggest the same thing, despite the thread-header only mention "a 7 mag."

I've owned four 7mm Remington Magnums over the past 30+ years, including my present one, a very accurate Mauser M18. But have also owned and hunted with a 7mm Weatherby Magnum, a 7mm Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum, and a 7mm Shooting Times Westerner--which despite not including "magnum" in its name, is more powerful than the three others--and also has a belted case....

Yep, when someone says 7 mag, I’m thinking 7mm Remington Magnum. I have a 7mm Weatherby and a 7mm ultra Mag, but load them all to 3200 fps with a 140 partition or ballistic tip. That speed will kill anything I’m likely to encounter in central Texas.

There may be more 7 mags out there than any other 7mm cartridge

I've only had multiple digits of 7mm Rem mags,a coupla 7mm Wby's(700 based) and (2) STW's which fhuqking suck(even 700 based),because you can't shoot any bullets worth a fhuqk,due case length. Hint.

Have had multiple 7 ShamWow's and double digits in 7 Whizzum. Hint.

Bullets matter wayyyyyyyyy more than headstamps and very fhuqking FEW have any understanding of RPM,throat geometry and COAL. Which is never NOT funnier than fhuqk. Hint................

well Dingleberry, in your world headstamps don't matter because you're used to generic tiny cartridges and simply don't know any better ...

tell me again that this headstamp don't matter, a headstamp that spits 285 gr bullets at 3200 fps, & the g1 bc is 1.01 to boot

you know nothing about "high bc" if all you see is fkn el cheapo Hornady crap


......
.338 cal 285 gr 1.01 bc

....

Swamptard,

I've never personally seen a Lot of Norma 6xc,waiver more than 7grs,per 50pcs...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Sweetie,I mentioned .284" and a .796 BC,which only got your crossed-eyes twitching. Hint.

Here's to how very WELL founded your countless Insecurities are,you Magnificently CLUELESS Kchunt. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

Liar Larry, do you have some moose pics to hang next to swamplords? No spike moose with “pretty furs” either. Haha that was a fuucking classic you hard charger you!! 😘

The 7mm Dakota might be the chit. Same 7 Rem mag case length for the mag box to work. Basically the same bolt face. No belt to deal with & some extra oomph.

Enough horse power to maybe shorten the case a tenth to make room for even heavier bullets with higher BC's at proper velocities.
