I got a Rem Model 700 ADL in 7mm Rem Mag when I was 13 and that would have been 1976. My father bought one when they first came out in the early 1960s. When the chips are on the table and I absolutely need to shoot meat it is that old 7mm I turn to. I know if I miss it will be my fault and not the rifle's fault. I trust that rifle so much that it went to Africa with me 5 times.

I have owned 7 RMG for 26 years now. it is still the best 284 from far available especially if you reload ! If you dont reload the norma Bondstrike 160 grains is "bad medicine"
Only morons go with ultra, nosler , other mega 284

I built this one about 20 years ago, I found a discounted Brown Precision stock on sale at Brownell's, sent my M70 receiver to my smith, he fitted a Shilen barrel @ 24" and bedded it up in the stock. Scope is a 4-12 x 56 Zeiss Diavari in Talley rings. I didn't really like it all that much when I built it, I had other rifles that kept my interest but over the years I found this rifle in my hands more so than any other. It's accurate and has never let me down. The way it's set up, recoil seems like a 270, can't say why but it's very easy to shoot.

I've owned two, a Howa 1500 and a Remington Sendero. Neither did anything I wasn't already doing with my .270s and .30/06s, except burn more powder, so off they went.

Never owned one but shot plenty. Nothing wrong with them I just happened to buy a 300 Win Mag instead. If I were to do a 7mm mag I would likely go with a Mashburn Super Mag. If I had to do a 7 Rem Mag I’d do a custom barrel appropriately throated and twisted for 175 grain bullets and up as this is where it out paces the 280 Rem and makes a difference.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

The 280 is outpaced,no matter the projectile. That of course being said,both are ONLY at their best,with the best bullets. Pass the 180 Hornie,in both. Hint.
Every Big Green 7mm RemMag ever built,will stabilize said .796 BC 180. The Masburn and the ilk,simply steal COAL latitude,which are multiple steps backwards. Hint.
What bullets,are you shooting in your 300 Winny? Hint.............
