I really do like the Mashburn concept...


The Mashburn sells itself. They just jumped on the bandwagon grin...like I'm gonna do too.


The more I read about it the more it seems like the perfect 7 mag.


I doubt it is perfect, smile but in a very imperfect world,it might approach providing about as much bullet weight,horsepower, and flat trajectory as is consistent with a reasonably light,mountain weight,general purpose BG rifle, that will not kick you into next week.

It is really very simple,and the reason I wanted one is that I wanted (1)a 175 gr 7mm bullet @3100 fps (2)from a light contoured 24" barrel (3)in a rifle weighing a bit less than 8 pounds (4)that had manageable recoil.

That it (easily)gives 3200+ fps with 160 gr bullets is kind of a bonus....but in truth I bet the 175 gr can do it all.I hope to find out.

Looks like Reloder wants one too... smile




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
