I'm really sorry to hear that.

The H&H could have been a keeper, but the rifles were way larger than necessary for the other two being long actions. If I kept the 300 it would have been a neat field rifle. I also had a 257 Roberts Mountain Rifle but it wasn’t throated for Caucasians. Bullets seated to fit the mag couldn’t get anywhere close to the throat.

These days, pass me a Kimber Montana instead.

The Classic stocks are decent but for me easy to beat for ergonomics. Even Carmichel said it was an exercise in frustration in designing them with Remington.


Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
