I've tried a couple of them, but they really didn't do anything my .30/06 didn't do, so they went away. I'm 62. I couldn't warm up to them. My stepbrother (a lefty) bought a LH BDL Remington as soon as he got a good job on the railroad, and it's still his only deer rifle, but no one else I know even has one in this day and age.

I DO know that my stepbrother has watched me kill enough deer with the .270s I've owned that he bought his kids .270s and NOT 7mm RMs, so it has impressed him over the years.

In the farmground where we hunt, it's just not necessary.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
