Been hunting with one in 270 since 1994. This will be the first year I give it a break. Found two used model 7s in 708 this year...one is a youth. So my son and I will be out there with those this year. First handloads out of mine measured under 1in @100 so it is showing promise. I loaded up some youth loads for my sons and his groups weren't much larger. Deer better watch out this year.

I'd love to have a remmy in 257 roberts. Gonna keep my eye out. I know where a 6mm model 7 is sitting right now and if it sits much longer...may just get it and a nice 257 rob barrel put on it.
