Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 7 Rem mag as good as it gets

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

I sincerely appreciate & thank you for your Service to OUR country ! !

Jerry

Jerry,

I humbly accept your thanks on behalf of all those who served.

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.

A N D the other xxxx would have gone to E R.

Good thing I read the entire thread - was going to inquire that same thing.

What Gives? I didn’t read the whole thing. Highlights?

Kingston-
Just meant I'd have duplicated Beav's question had I not read.

Has it been answered? That’s what I’m looking for. So x3. Grin.

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.

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 ?


Jerry

Addressed to S R :




"needmore" reasons ?

Yes, Jerry, I do.

Take your Testosterone supplement. lol. That redness in your face can be cured by purchasing a Creedmoor.

While your head is up your butt

JUMP ! you'll then disappear.


Jerry

lol

Watch your blood pressure. You'll pop like a zit.

Because people want to have a pat on the back for their clever purchase of a new rifle.

Definite CBHS case here.

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.
