I am 40 y o and I am a fan of the 7mm Rem mag. My 700 sps in 7 mag with Leupold 6x42 is my primary big game hunting rifle but I do also have some other rifles a 243, 30-30, 30-06 and a 340 Weatherby.
I love the balance of bullet weight, diameter, recoil and trajectory that Remingtons 7mm magnum provides.
Edited to add: The load I shoot in my Big Seven is the 162 gr Hornady SST with 70 gr Retumbo behind it. Shoots consistently sub MOA with chrono verified velocity 3045 fps avg. As an extra bonus, Woodleigh's 160 gr weldcore with the same load shoots to the same point of impact and the trajectory is as close as I can tell out to at least 250 yards, as far as I have tracked it, and the velocity averages a bit higher too at about 3060 fps. I doubt if I could ever build a better load for general purpose big game hunting out here in BC. Well, at least until I run out of Retumbo...
