Yep, I read that treatise then and just reread it and a few of the comments. I always figured if you had a .30-06 with a 24” barrel, you didn’t need the little extra that the 7mm Remington Magnum brings. But since we live in a day and age where picking nits is more important than the subject at hand, it is not my first choice although it is still a great cartridge. I’ve been pretty satisfied with both my 7mm Weatherby Magnums. When we bought our Platoon Sergeant in Charlie Company, 75th Rangers a going away present to Alaska in 1973, the gun shop guy in Columbus, GA told the guy buying it that “it will kill any living thing on the planet”. He may have not been far off the mark. Happy Trails

Yes, Thanks for defending our country! Service people do not get enough credit and are disrespected at times. My boy was in uniform in the Chicago airport. Some piece of cshit spit on him. He had more restraint than I would have. I would have been in jail.

Skane and Sir Kingston, No answer came forth-Only the lonely echo of my post coming back at me...So, I started a “Stocky Stocks” thread of my own to find the answer...Short version: Stocky farms out their carbon fiber stocks to AG Composites. Their CF stocks are high quality with tight tolerance fitting. Customer service from SS is excellent. Price point for CF stocks is below other well known manufacturers. They have inventory ready to ship, especially for Remington 700 LA and SA. 😎

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the 6.5 Creedmoor Magnum? Superior ballistics. Better bullets. Sexier name. Here's the standard Creedmoor beside the super sized Creedmoor. Pic courtesy of Dissimulator Press

Because -
A. The thread is ABOUT the 7 Rem Mag.
B. Some of us are SICK of the FAD. One of our regular's here called it Creedmoor Fatigue ! ! !
C. There are OTHER cartridges BESIDE the CRAPmoor.
D. Need other reasons ?

Addressed to S R : Tejano ASKED, “ Why is the Creedmoor interjected into almost all topics ? “ I am going the other way. The 6.5 CM led me to the 7 mag (WSM). My 180 ELDM and my 175 ELDX handloads, Shoot the same speed and accuracy as the 162 factory loads as well. I will continue to use both. That'll do for both velocity and accuracy if I can put 6 shots in there and have that kind of SD from a factory load.....if you can read my chicken scratch * * * pix omitted for this post * * * Hard to argue that either the 6.5 CM or the 7 mag doesn't work, but the 7 does step things up a notch which is why I chose 7 WSM instead of the same thing a bit faster in 6.5 PRC. "needmore" reasons ?

Why is the Creemoor interjected into almost all topics? Because people want to have a pat on the back for their clever purchase of a new rifle.

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

here's once that we disagree. In my count which is NOT specific, this is in the minority.

Just joined the club with this new M700 SPS left hand. I put a Leupold 6x42mm in Talley lightweight lows. With sling it's ready to hunt at 8lb 2 Oz. I'm excited to try it this fall as my high country mule deer/black bear rifle. I pulled a moose tag here in BC this November I may let the Big 7 take a crack at moose too.
