Late to conversation but my dad got me a Browning Abolt Medallion 7mag with the Boss system, the first year they came out in the early 90's I believe. I'm 50 now and used it up until 2-3 years ago when I started using my Tikka T3 308. I used factory ammo in that Abolt for its entire lifetime. I do load for all my 308's and just recently found myself picking up items for my 7's (have 3). H-1000, 162 eld's, virgin R-P brass, now I just need some dang LRM primers. One thing that I have noticed is the 7mag isn't going anywhere.

I think you need to buy two, they don’t like being alone.

Here is a few 7 mags, from top, all shoot well with 140 Ballistic tip, 64 grains IMR 4350 I haven’t fired the Golden Anniversary. I think I sold rifle on bottom to someone here on the fire. Down to five I think. I may sell the golden anniversary, cannot bring myself to mount scope on it, fire it. Some serious Sako man needs it. Always wanted one, satisfied that itch, should have bought one that’s been fired. 700 Classic 700, C grade 798 Sako Sako Sako ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Hkt7JKxj/IMG-0796.jpg)

I have no idea why, but I've always wanted a 7mm Remington Mag. It serves absolutely no purpose where I hunt, and will do virtually nothing my .280 won't at the ranges I shoot....but I still want one.
Maybe it's to round out the .284's, I already hunt with a 7mm TCU, 7mm-08, 7x57, and .280, so I have plenty of bullets to load. I also have around 2-300 pcs of brass, so I'm covered there, as well as 8lbs of AA4350 and 16lbs of H100v....all I need now is a set of dies, some LRM primers, and an actual rifle.
I'm debating between a pre-bankruptcy Remington 700 SPS or a boat paddle/stainless Ruger 77, just trying to convince myself I *need* a 7mm RM. IMO, you need to buy a 7MM Rem Mag. I have a few in different manufacturers and all of them shoot great and are 1" or better. The round just works on deer too.

The 7mm Rem Mag has long been an EXCEPTIONAL chambering,but a Goat Fhuqk in Winchesters,Sakos,Rugers and the like. Hint.
Opt a Big Green OEM platform and you are there,with ALL mechanical dots connected by literal default(RPM/COAL/Throating). Hint.
Optics matter a "smidge" too. Hint.
.796 BC 180's are beyond "sensational". Hint................ Stick, what do you know about the new Rem 700 Alpha 1? Seems like they did alot of things right, especially the 1:8 twist for the high BC bullets. For me, hammer forging is highly desireable too. I'm looking to pickup that Alpha 1 in 7RM for northern Ontario moose out to 500 yards, and pushing 175gr Hornady ELD-X pills (.689 G1 BC) thru it. Am I undergunned? Not sure about optics yet, but leaning toward Zeiss Conquest V6 (for the illuminated moa dot).
