Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska 7mm Rem Magnum in Alaska

Thanks for the support. I am all in!

I’d lend you my rifle, but the bolt is on the port side. That would get you killed for sure.

rifle came in, waiting on a Leupold 3.5-10x50mm gloss black scope I ordered.

Sharp.

gloss rifle. gloss scope. nothing should miss that dang mirror shining in the light. Not sure the reason folks desire to give themselves away. Often while wearing useless camo.

probably correct. I've not shot factory in years so no clue. but bonded has to be better than the old ones. that said with the advent of Barnes and other mono bullets I'm not sure why mono would not be the choice. I"ve yet to see a bad result from mono. the reverse is not able to be said.

I don't wear camo. Watch the wind, hunt slowly and quietly, everything else will work itself out.

That’s a nice rifle!

i would agree 100 % about Core - Lokts when i was working at a wild game processing plant at Gillete ,Wyoming that took care of 700 -750 animals a year i seen how bad Core-Lokts worked on wild game animals and i would not wanna face a big bear with them in my rifle.

Yup, fantastic bullet !

The Federal TA ammo has saved me a ton of time by not having to reload ammo for my Rem 700 BDL rifles in 7mm Rem, 300 Win, 308 Win & the kids Tikka T3 Lite rifles in 300 WSM, got a bunch of ammo and the whole fam damily is set up for moose for a while, and anything else out here if the need arises, 10 boxes of good hunting ammo on hand is my requirement and I have way more than that with other factory ammo and reloads

I've loaded the 30 cal 175 gr and 200 gr Terminal Ascent bullets in my 300 RUM & stuck them into moose at screaming velocities, bullets held up and wiped the moose outta their tracks

Prefer a fast 30 cal but wouldn't hesitate to plug a brownie with the 7mm Rem and 155 gr TA bullets if it's all I had on me

Nice looking do it all rifle

Watch that glare and you will be fine. Thats a pretty rifle. Just be aware.

Nice flammable firewood when you get lost and cold, save a piece to signal passing aircraft

I once hunted with a man toting a 700 BDL. You could see the reflections from it several hundred yards away. I'm sure the deer could, too.

I have hunted with the for over 60 years. Excellent success! Shoot hunt enjoy.

Really nice rifle!

Watched a fellow stalk and shoot a beautiful interior grizzly with a 7mm Rem Mag, 140 gr Barnes. One shot, bear ran only a few yards after the shot then collapsed. Very quick kill. I was impressed.

So impressed that I've loaded up a bunch of 140 gr Barnes TTSX's for my own 7mm Rem Mag. Just need to try them out on something other than targets.

Biggest game I took with my own 7mm Rem Mag was a nice size bull elk. A single 175 gr Nosler Partition penetrated from one side to the other, taking the bull down in just a few steps. Bullet exited.

There's a lot of great 7mm hunting bullets.

A 140 gr Corelokt from my 260 did the same thing. SURPRISE! And not a single step....

OK- I totally destroyed her spine just behind the head at @150 yards...... and the recoil was mild enough I could see her flop!

I took the same rifle/load moose hunting (without getting a shot) this year with total confidence. Although I admit, that gallon of cranberry bear poop in the trail, that hadn't been there the day before, made me miss a step.

That's what a 250 gr. .338WM or bigger is for.

Rem 725SA .260, from where I called the bull.



The only moose I saw - too big/too little for legal.



i haven't decided on my rifles for next season yet. 7X57 W70fwt, the .260, Ruger 77 in .338 (took that caribou hunting this year - so maybe not), or the '98 in 30-06.

Decisions, decisions.... depends on what's shooting and my feelers at the time.

Nice old Kelty!

Shoot them right in the pump-station.

Most of all, have fun while hunting in the wilds of your choice.

Some alder swimming will take the gloss off the stock and blueing
