I like them, have 5 or 6. You get a lot of performance without much recoil. If I had to get down to one deer cartridge, I’d pick a 7 Rem Mag.

Either that or my swede

I have 2. I like them.

I have two, a custom Win 70 and a Christensen Arms Ridgeline in a McMillan stock, the 7mm RM is a personal favorite.

I need to dig them out, two Sako’s, a 798 Remington, a 700 Classic, a C grade 700. I guess I have 5, my favorite for sure, 30-06 is second.

I have one and like it. But it's more than I need for the way I hunt deer.

I’m down to only one. It might have a little more power than most need. But I’ve always said you can’t kill ‘em to dead.
Hasbeen

Have 3 a ruger mk2 a remington 700 adl a d a Smith wesson 1500.

I have a BAR in 7Rmag. When my dad and grandad took me to buy my own rifle in 1974 all the gun shop had that was Browning (and it HAD to be a Browning) was 3 BAR’s. 2 in 300 Win mag and a 7RMag. I was quite the stud at school being only 14 and toting a Browning 7Rmag that was MINE. Heavy but boy did it lay them down.

I have one…Tikka T3 Superlite. 😎

I had one of those too, but too much of a good thing. The model 70 is about the perfect weight. Puzzy cats to shoot. The Tikka, not so much..

Love mine. It’s a BDL the came from the custom shop. Bought it from a friend to re barrel but shot the donor. I have loads for 140, 150 and 160 gr bullets that will consistently cut ragged holes. That rifle is only second to my 25’s. It will never leave my safe as it has taken some of my best trophies. Thinking of have another one built on a 700.
Nothing in North America I wouldn’t hunt with one.

GreggH

I have one, a Remington BDL Stainless, I purchased for an elk hunt in the late 90's and I did take a 6x5 bull with it, my first elk. I have not hunted with it since although I did put it in a McMillan stock and mounted a S&B Precision Hunter 3-12x42 scope on it.

3.


A pre-Garcia I bought in 88 to hunt out west. Used it for several years, it hasn't seen sunlight in 20 years.

A Tikka T3 Hunter bought from a guy who won it. Unfired. Still.
17 years later.

A 77. Left Hand.😁😁😁😁(I ain't)
Had it about 13 ysars.


Great round. Like it.


But the Sako was replaced by a lighter 300. Now I have no need of that
kind of firepower. (Never did, honestly)

Why shoot the Tikka? And a lefty Ruger? 😎

Just one for deer would be (is) a T3 7mm-08.

Don’t need a magnum to kill deer.




P

For me if I had one for deer: .243, .25-06, 7-08 or .270.

One for everything: 7MM RM or .300 Mag (paired with a .375 or .416 of course!)

I had a 7 mag. Rem 700 CDL SF. Put it in a mcmillan game hunter stock and sold it to my buddy. He still uses it all the time. I prefer my 243

A shorter list would be; Who don't.

Really? I thought it would be a kicker, but I put a Limbsaver pad on it and I swear it’s like shooting my 7 x57 Mauser. Not hard kicking at all. 😎

Got one and took a bunch of stuff with it a long time ago. If it's just for deer than it's very mucho overkillo. For less money an 308win or 270win are less costly to run even these days.

4-

Remington 700 BDL in BC medalist + 4 X M8

BSA CR2 that I just have for trade fodder.

Ruger Tanger with red pad no scope yet.

Winchester Model 70 XTR in BC medalist and 4X Leupold.

I had a very bad experience with one when I was in college about 33 years ago but like them good enough now. I still have more 30/06s and 308s though.

I shot one (a neighbor’s) not overly impressed. Doesn’t offer any more than a 30-06! memtb

Except BCs worth a crap without needing a 200 grain bullet and loads of recoil.

Unless you’re shootings beyond 500 yards…..BC’s aren’t very important! memtb

i have 6 REM.Mag. rifles a very fine cartridge

I know. I was answering your statement. It does have some advantages but not for all uses I guess.

7 Mag is gayer than a 270! 😀

280AI is enough powder for me.

I can't remember ever owning a 7mm Rem mag. I've always been a fan of the Rem .280 but I don't even shoot them any more.

me

Ahh, me.

Started loading for my BIL back in the 90's, 700........

He shot FLA pigs and deer, grumbled a little for some reason................ he wanted the lighter faster stuff!

Loaded him up some 170gr RN, he never looked back or asked for anything else....

SADLY, the rifle is now mine, wish it weren't.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Or compare how many 30-06's you have to how many 7mm rem mag's you have. I'll be the first:

1. 5 30-06 rifles (I think)
2. 2 7mm rem mag rifles..

It may be unamerican to not own at least 1 7mm rem mag? Notice I didn't say 270 win, because I'm not gay..

I have a Sako AV that I bought here on the "fire" some time back and I put a Swarovski Z3 3-10x42mm on it.

It hasn't been used much as of late, I have tended to use a little less horsepower (6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55mm, 7mm-08, 7x64mm, 308 WCF and 30-06) for deer and pigs here in the southeast.

If it didn't shoot so well, I'd probably send it down the road.

StarchedCover

I walked into a shop yesterday and they had 3 7RMs, a CZ and 2 Remington 700s. They also had a Savage 280AI

I have 2, a 1972 vintage Remington 700 BDL and a gorgeous Ruger M77 MKII Express rifle!

I do not, and do not plan on ever getting one. A prejudice formed long ago when a 7 mag hunter talked down our 270's. Yet, it was he who needed help tracking a wounded deer. While the 270's just put meat on the pole with no muss, no fuss.

I don’t. Have wanted one at various times tho.

I have the OL .280 so…close.

Same here.

It does need a 24” tube and it burns around 70gr of powder, neither of which are great attributes for a “deer rifle”, but there’s no arguing that it is effective. Doesn’t beat up a shooter too badly either. I use mine a fair bit in open spots where I can see 400yds or more, as the 160NAB tracks well with the B&C reticle in my 3.5-10.

They were all the rage with younger guys in the mid to late 90s in SC where I lived. I never owned one but never had any aversion to them.

We have a very different perspective. I have one in a longer custom barrel Savage. As i recall she kicked like a mule. Have not shot that rifle for years.

I like light weight rifles & seem to only hunt midwest Whitetail deer, where 300 lbs live weight would be a big deer. In the last decade I have gravitated to the 6.5mm Grendel & more recently the 6mm ARC.
The little CZ 527 has been doing well inside of 300 yards for my use. Then I grew up with the 6mm Remington. I am in the camp that the 6mm Rem does great though burns more powder than really needed.

Last years deer was my nicest deer yet. A 160 class tall 4x4 5 ish year old brute. He was taken at a laser ranged 254 yards.
https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/243-is-to-large-wink.288173/

This young girl seems to do well with a 6mm Arc as well.



Don't really need a sledge hammer for finish nail work.

I have a 7mm Weatherby if that's close enough for this conversation. It's a Fibermark, bought new in 1985 when they came with a McMillan stock. Hasn't seen action in many years.

I like that.

4 here - 2 Rem Mags and 2 WSM’s, a Win Model 70 and a Kimber 8400 in each flavor.

Bought my first (Savage 110) in college before I was a looney and only needed ( and could afford) one rifle at the time for deer and possibly elk hunting.

Do I need a “7 mag” today??? Nope but I like ‘em and have used one for deer hunting (among other cartridges from .243 to .45-70) for 30yrs, and suppose I’ll keep using one when I feel the desire.

Also have an schultz and Larsen 54j 7x61 sharp and hart. That was my grandfather.

I have owned a few, but don't own any now. I always felt kind of silly sitting in a blind or treestand shooting 80-100 lb does or 130-150 lb bucks with a 7 mag at 200 yds or less which is what about 95% of my hunting consists of. It is a great cartridge and really shines if you hunt beanfields, power lines or more open country further west than AL or TN where I hunt. Cartridges like the 7mm-08, 7x57, 300 Savage etc cover all my needs without much recoil or meat damage.

currently have a 7-08, 280 rem, 7rem mag and 28N. among others. I tend to grab the 7mag and 280 the most

Nothing against the cartridge. Its the platforms they come in which fail to interest me. Bigger heavier rifle to tote around...for what? Not alot of positive tradeoff there in my mind. Not with today's bullets.

Agree.

I had two. A Weatherby and a Winchester Model 70. It didn't take me long to figure out neither one did anything that my .06 could do and they burned more powder.They both went down the road

I have one in a Winchester Model 70. Bought it to hunt big game out west, figured my 30-30 wouldn't cut there.

I agree. Never owned one. Every time I compare it to the -06 they are so close ballistics wise that I can't justify the purchase. It also is too close to the 270 unless you are really into hair splitting.

I have had one since it hit the market years ago. My current one is on a 700 action with a 26 " Douglas. I must have built it about 1990. My favorite is my.300, but the 7 is second. My late wife took it over shortly after I had it built.. It was her favorite of all our rifles. She made some great shots with it over the years from antelope to moose. I still pack it each fall because she liked it so much. With 140 gr. BTBTs is a hammer with Re22. I am going to load 50 more of that load either this fall or next. Probably be the last batch of ammo I load for it. Never figured this over kill stuff, dead is dead. I load my own stuff so it is about as cheap to shoot as any of the larger centerfires.
It has taken, coyotes, antelope, axis deer, whitetails, mulies, black bear, elk, moose and caribou. Great round in a favorite rifle.

Got one in a Ruger MKII stainless, laminate. Don't necessarily need it for SC deer but I sure do love to shoot it. 150 grain Nosler Partitions work magic!

Don't forget that high BC Bullets drift less in the wind. The 7mm bullets were the highest BC before the current 6.5mm bullets arrived. The 7RM was the original high velocity and high BC cartridge. If it only had a 30 degree shoulder and no belt it would be everybody's darling. 7mm PRC anybody?

I got one in the late '80's when I got out of the woods and into the big open areas and figured I needed a bit more reach than my Ruger .44 carbine was giving me. It's a Ruger tanger. I'm sure I've killed more deer with that rifle than any other single firearm I own. I gave it to one of my sons several years ago. Today my 6.5X55 has replaced it as my favorite, most reliable rifle for killing deer. A bit less noise and confusion when the trigger breaks and the deer seem just as dead.

I have a tikka t3 and a Bergara hmr both in 7mm mag

Have a Tikka T-3 that has to go away.

Had at least one since 1980. Love em.

I have my eye on another, love a 7 mag. Love 264 Win mags too

Son calls it the “Halloween Rifle”. Long range shot prob 50 yards then it slid 60 more down the hill. The buck had been fighting and his right beam was broken at the skull. Came walking straight to us with his head turned sideways. I was thinking WTH!
Told the boy to tell me when he was ready to squeeze. BOOM! Then he looked up at me and said..
“I was already ready Dad”

6 or 7 years ago.

Remington 700's in a good stock, bedded, barrel freefloated, trigger tuned will shoot sub 1/2" groups as a rule of thumb.

140g Partition- ballistic tip, accubond at 3250 on 26" bbl

150g-154g- R#25 with WINchester Magnum primer, 3200 fps, tiny groups, less than 10 fps extreme spread

160g-168G-IMR 4350(3000 fps), IMR 4831(2950),RETUMBO(3100 fps), H1000(3000 fps)

175-180g- R#26(3030 fps with Fed 215)

The Gentry muzzle break reduces the recoil to a 243, and it also throws most of the concussion FORWARD!

I have two. One is a bone stock Ruger tanger and the other is a Win mod 70 classic. It came with the BOSS, which I hated, so I had Pac Nor put a stainless 3 groove bbl on it. Bedded it in a Mcmillan stock and it's my go to rifle. 140 partitions for anything I can hunt.....

I have never warmed up to them…not sure why. Lots have passed through my hands but none ever stayed. I guess I just figured if I was burning that much powder might as well shoot a .300 Win.

Seems to be a pretty polarizing cartridge and I have heard a lot of bias against it for elk in my area and circle of friends/acquaintances. I am guessing some of that was from earlier days with poorer bullets and/or people expecting magic and it turns out you still have to hit them somewhere that counts.

I did buy a 7 WSM for a donor but am kinda digging the rifle so it may stay a 7 and get a chance to go on a field trip.

If someone wanted to Wade into the 7 Mag world you could do a lot worse than this one…

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...70-xtr-winlite-mcmillan-7-rem-mag#UNREAD

Yup. Ruger Number One in 7mm Rem Mag. I've taken elk, mule deer, pronghorn and the occasional unfortunate coyote with the 7mm Remington Magnum. I like the cartridge, and this rifle.



Regards, Guy

I'm on that list. I've owned a couple. The last was an action I had rebarreled that didn't work out. I haven't gone back to the well. I wouldn't mind doing it again with the right rifle BUT at the same time, for anything I perceive a 6.5 PRC or .270 being inadequate for, I don't want a 7mm mag, I want a .300 mag with 200 grain bullets minimum and preferably a .338 or .375.

That said, if the right 7mm mag did walk by at the right price, I'd grab it. Screw logic.

Tom

My son has a new Bergara in 7mm Rem Mag. Sweet shooter! I did some load development for him.





Regards, Guy

I'm a late comer to the 7mm Mag. I've come to realize a high-BC 160-grain bullet at 2900-3000 fps is a sweet spot. Not too much recoil. Good for close range with good bullets and good for open country. Fortunately, 7mm RMs are not real popular right now so can be had fairly reasonably.

I've got Ruger 77s in .243, 7mm RM and .375 Ruger. I should sell everything else and focus on hunting! But probably won't : )

Two which have not followed someone else home........




Sako L61R "Varmint"



When I started collecting, Sako's were my first love. An old benchrest shooter traded this one in at the LGS that I've been frequenting for about 35 years now. Circa 1995, at the beginning of my "heavy barrel, beanfield rifle period. It is amazingly accurate, even for a Sako. I"m not a long range shooter but I don't hesitate doing 400 yds with this rig! Ya!

About 10 years ago IIRC I acquired my first Steyr Safebolt, got it for +/- $450 in a 3 rifle deal. That one was a Steyr Mountain in 308 Win. That started me down the road to owning about a dozen plus Steyrs and a fondness for 2 stage triggers.



It flat luv's the 160 Gr. Nosler Partitions.



Ya!

GWB

Nice rifles, GW!

I have a Ruger Hawkeye All Weather with the black synthetic stock in 7 mag. I may sell it.

I have a first year Savage 110 in 7RM and a custom Sako in 7STW. Both shoot well, never hunted with either but may use the Savage some this season.

Browning BAR. MOA shooter.

I inherited a rifle from my father in law that he got from his dad who bought it and a box of shells in 1965, a Winchester 70 with iron sites in 7mm mag. The rifle has had 10 rounds through it all shot by me. I don’t have any use for a 7mag so I’m considering sending it to JES so it can grow up and be what it was meant to be…a .338 win mag. 😁

In 1970 I was 15 and I bought a 700 ADL in 7mm mag. Still have it, the original ss Hart barrel lasted 44 years and about 3000 rds. Had it rebarrelled with a new 700 take off barrel in 7mm mag. Whitetails, mule deer , antelope, and 1 mountain goat. If you can't get the job done with the 7mm Remington Magnum it says alot about you and your lack of competence. Mb

I have one sort of accidentally.

In the mid to late 90s, Win made the lefty M70. Dad got me one of the first ones in 30-06 (I was overseas)

When it was announced they would be discontinued, I searched everywhere for one in 270. (lefty JOC rifle, why not)

The only lefty M70 to turn up was a 7RM at a local toy outlet.

Made the comment to my bride that would be last "new LH M70" I'd ever see and walked.

Months later she presented it to me for our anniversary.

Excellent!

I've owned at least one 7mag for 28yrs now.At the present time I have three.I think they are great for deer and hog hunting.I've found them to be easy to load for and are very accurate too.My favorite bullets to shoot in the 7mag are the 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip and the 160gr Accubond.

I've hung onto both!

I consider the 7mm REM Mag my absolute perfect, trophy deer cartridge. When money (paid hunt) or a trophy buck is on the line, I grab one of my 7mm RMs. I have the upmost confidence it will get the job done on deer to any practical distance close or far.

I have taken more deer with a 7mm-08 over the last decade or two and love it for many reasons but the 7mm RM gives me that extra confidence when I get serious about a trophy. I have taken the majority of my larger WT bucks and made some of my tougher shots with a 7mm RM. There are more efficient, faster, lower recoiling, more portable, less blast, yada-yada-yada cartridges but the 7mm Remington Magnum flat out works on deer.

Killed my first WV deer with my brother’s Brown custom; Mark X action, Shilen SS barrel, Brown (of course) stock, S&B 1.5-6. Went about 10lbs (the rifle, not the deer). Fine rifle, but waaaay too much for deer in the woods. Could be loaded down of course, but still a load to tote. Honestly can’t say it killed that deer any faster or deader than anything else I’ve used. Made a heckuva hole!

I have two Mark V 7mm Weatherby Mags. A Howa built 24” tube synthetic stock and a Saco Defense made 26” Kreiger Criterion barreled one with a Bell+Carlson stock. Both are somewhat heavy but are great shooters. My son has a Savage 110 7mm Rem Mag that has taken many elk and mule deer. It will see action in elk country this year, but mine will be sidelined by the 6.5-300 Wby and .300 Wby.

My dad hunted with one almost exclusively from the early 70’s. it killed a lot of game and an enormous variety at that. I’ve used one fairly extensively with great success. It’s an excellent cartridge.

I would too. They both sound like keeper!

A rifle that has sentimentality is truly special.

.......Would a 28 Nosler count?....LOL

I have 2 of them.

A Winchester Model 70 push feed with a 26" barrel, it was a Walmart Special, but now it wears a Model 70 Alaskan Laminate stock and a 2-piece bottom metal and a Voere (parker ballard model 603), it was my dads, it is a hammer.

Hope you hung on to that woman also...mb

My first wife only bought me trouble.This one here of 47 years has bought me a TC Hawkin, muzzle loader, a Winchester 9422, a S&W 686, a Ruger SBH, a 14 ft dump trailer and a 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500HD duramax.

Sounds like this one’s a keeper!

Does three 7mm STW's count??

I’d consider keeping her if I were you!!

Same here

Mine is a 700 BDL, that someone “tacticooled” the recoil to performance ratio is pretty good with the “seven emm emm” I’ll never be without one.

I just picked up a "new" one on Saturday. 1993 Stainless Ruger M77 in a Boat Paddle. Only thing I'm going to do is add a decent recoil pad.

I have 2. Ruger Hawkeye All Weather that I just put into a B&C stock. Hoping I can get it to shoot better than the 1.25”-1.5” groups I was getting from it before. My other is a Tikka T3x Lite SS that puts both 160 Accubonds or 175 Partitions into tiny groups with near-max loads of RL22. I love the Tikka as one of my all-rounder guns. Hopefully the Ruger shoots better and can join that list.

I have a couple of the Rugers. One of the newer Hawkeyes the other is an older Mark II boat paddle with sights. These are both used rifles, so far unfired by me.

I had a blued / walnut Ruger many years ago that I used a bit. But my interest went to a bit larger diameter bullets.
I do like 7mm Remington magnum. It still seems pretty popular even with the competition of more recent 7mm's.

Have a couple Sako 7mm's. one standard AIII and one deluxe L61R, now that I am older don't like to shoot them like I used to, so actually considering selling one or both.

Well do you have a favorite size wrench as well?
How about paint brushes? lol
I personally think they are a great cartridge for that which they were designed to do.
Which aint everything.

Have one, a Tikka T-3 that has to go away.

Meaning the 7mag and the wife but yes, I still have the other M70, its a 9.3x62 now though.

I have two. One, is a Rem 700 sps. It shoots 160-grain Partition into 1/2-inch, on any day that my eyes cooperate. I have used it on numerous elk without issue. I have a Savage 110, with a Criterion barrel and custom stock that does the same with about any load. Both are left-handed rifles. I started with the 7 mag, as I got one by default in a trade. I shot them exclusively for years, until I started down the path of having numerous cartridges. I have determined that magnums are not necessary for the lions share of my hunting and they are not efficient cartridges at all-also known as expensive to shoot very much. I hardly ever shoot them anymore, as I spend relatively little time on the range and most of my hunting is done with other cartridges-6.5 Creed, 260 Rem,.270, .308 and 30-06.

I keep tellling myself that I should sell them, and then I take them out and shoot them again. Back in the safe they go!

Right, I have one.

have two mid 80's Rem 700 BDL's but I don't hunt moose with 7mm's , prefer the pop n drop guillotine execution action of the 30's & 338's

and the 7mm Rem Mag doesn't have the balls to push the 195-97 gr bullets at a useful velocity & forget trying to load the 226 gr 7mm bullets

ive got one..

a LH rem700.

never even kilt a deer with it, buddy borrowed it and did kill a doe.

6.5mm is the life for me...

I'll make it easy,for you fhuqking CLUELESS Droolers. Hint.

An OEM Rem 700 7mm Rem mag boasts a 3.690" COAL and is twisted/throated,to whistle .796 BC 180 ELD mag fed Smooches at 2900fps+. Read that again. Now one more time. Hint.

That's all the things that Winchester,Tikka,Salvage,Sako,Ruger and the like can NOT do. Hint.

Just saying.

Hint................

you still jacking to wHorenady schit dingleberries ? real long range shooters don't slum with that 3rd rate cheap garbage

I prefer 3300 fps with 195 Bergers (3.656" coal) & 197 gr SMK's from my 7mm LRH .... & yes it's on a Rem 700 that was originally in 7mm Rem Mag, it finally grew up to be a real "long range" 7mm

Next time I see a shooting star my wish will be you two become besties..

I have one - Model 70 Stainless. Love that rifle. My primary deer gun. 25-06 m70 is its backup.

I first started deer hunting with my dad’s unscoped 32 Special Marlin. Not the best deer rifle for the plains.

I borrowed a 7 mag for a couple of years and really got to like it. But I missed a lever action, so when I could finally buy my own rifle I bought a Browning BLR in 7 mag. That was one mule kicking SOB - stock didn’t really work that well for a scoped 7mm. Didn’t keep it long, moved on the the M70 and never looked back. I suppose I’ve had it close to 30 years now.

Swamptard,

I REALLY "believe" you and you can nearly "convince" yourself...you "lucky" kchunt. Almost. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............

First bolt rifle was a Ruger M77 in 7mm RM. All I had for big game for the first 20 years and have never "needed" anything else. With lots of other options now (40 years later), the 7mm Rm still does everything I want a big game rifle to do.

That said, I do like to use my other rifles as well so the 7mm RM gets used a lot less than in the past. (Too many rifles, too few hunting trips.) Looking at making matters worse by barreling a naked Savage 110 action with a 7mm PRC barrel once brass becomes available.

Yep. Too many rifles, too few trips. Got one bow, so it gets to go every time during bow season

I have a Rem 700 BDL in 7 mag. She’s a shooter!!

This thread reminds me a lot of a story a good friend told me several years ago. He worked in the large gun department of a local sporting goods store for many years, and just about every year a hunter (or two or three) would show up at the counter and ask for a box of Seven Em Em ammo. My friend would ask which kind?--and the guy would look puzzled, because as far as he knew there only one Seven Em Em cartridge existed, which of course was the 7mm Remington Magnum.

Most of the posts here suggest the same thing, despite the thread-header only mention "a 7 mag."

I've owned four 7mm Remington Magnums over the past 30+ years, including my present one, a very accurate Mauser M18. But have also owned and hunted with a 7mm Weatherby Magnum, a 7mm Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum, and a 7mm Shooting Times Westerner--which despite not including "magnum" in its name, is more powerful than the three others--and also has a belted case....

Yep, when someone says 7 mag, I’m thinking 7mm Remington Magnum. I have a 7mm Weatherby and a 7mm ultra Mag, but load them all to 3200 fps with a 140 partition or ballistic tip. That speed will kill anything I’m likely to encounter in central Texas.

There may be more 7 mags out there than any other 7mm cartridge

I've only had multiple digits of 7mm Rem mags,a coupla 7mm Wby's(700 based) and (2) STW's which fhuqking suck(even 700 based),because you can't shoot any bullets worth a fhuqk,due case length. Hint.

Have had multiple 7 ShamWow's and double digits in 7 Whizzum. Hint.

Bullets matter wayyyyyyyyy more than headstamps and very fhuqking FEW have any understanding of RPM,throat geometry and COAL. Which is never NOT funnier than fhuqk. Hint................

well Dingleberry, in your world headstamps don't matter because you're used to generic tiny cartridges and simply don't know any better ...

tell me again that this headstamp don't matter, a headstamp that spits 285 gr bullets at 3200 fps, & the g1 bc is 1.01 to boot

you know nothing about "high bc" if all you see is fkn el cheapo Hornady crap


......
.338 cal 285 gr 1.01 bc

....

Swamptard,

I've never personally seen a Lot of Norma 6xc,waiver more than 7grs,per 50pcs...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Sweetie,I mentioned .284" and a .796 BC,which only got your crossed-eyes twitching. Hint.

Here's to how very WELL founded your countless Insecurities are,you Magnificently CLUELESS Kchunt. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

Liar Larry, do you have some moose pics to hang next to swamplords? No spike moose with “pretty furs” either. Haha that was a fuucking classic you hard charger you!! 😘

The 7mm Dakota might be the chit. Same 7 Rem mag case length for the mag box to work. Basically the same bolt face. No belt to deal with & some extra oomph.

Enough horse power to maybe shorten the case a tenth to make room for even heavier bullets with higher BC's at proper velocities.

I started dreaming of the 7mm STW from the first time it was written up in Shooting Times. I also had fantasies of owning a Ruger #1.

Then Ruger chambered the #1B SS in 7mm STW, and Sportsman's had one on the rack.

I have used it to kill two bull elk. Each within 15 yds of previously lasered 400 yd marks. Ammo was the Hornady 162 gr spire point boat tail over H1000 at 3200 fps MV.

Sure, I could have used my previously owned 30-06 and my favored 190 gr Hornady spire point boat tail. But the trajectory would have been a bit steeper.

Man when we going to hang out do bro chit like shoot speed limit signs on the parks hwy with a shot gun??

Sure, I've got one, but I don't know for how much longer. The brother-in-law called yesterday and said that he and the wife are headed this way for a visit. They are from Helena, Montana and hunt elk and mule deer every year. I built up that '60's M700 7mm RM as my first do everything rifle and it has from elk to whitetail, but it is too big for WI. deer hunting and I'm getting too old to chase the elk in the mountains. Even the elk I've shot with that rifle could have been shot with my newer 7mm-08 that I reworked the same as that 7mm RM. That magnum has just taken up a slot in the gun safe for the last 10 years and it's a travesty not to hunted with out west, so I suspect that I'll rehome it to Kevin. 7# with a Kevlar Brown Precision stock, #1 taper barrel and action all hard chrome and bead blasted, camo painted, reworked trigger, Swarovski 2.5-10x42 PH 30mm on Conetrol rings and bases.

My first one was stolen by the USPS on its way to Douglas for a new barrel…. A few years later I saw a Rem 700ADL with a 26” barrel too cheap to walk away from. First load was 140TSX over a stiff charge of IMR7977 that shot around 1/2” groups. I mostly use it when I’m sitting in a box for shooting deer but it’s hard to imagine much one couldn’t hunt with that combo.

It is my favorite cartridge, and my favorite rifle is a Tikka topped with my new Schmidt and Bender Polar T96. I’ve killed a lot of game with this rifle but have not hunted with the new scope on it yet. Looking forward to that.

This Tikka is my go to and I will shoot hogs, Deer and blackbear with it here at home. I will take it on my Wyoming cow elk hunt this fall.

I shoot 160 Accubonds through it and it is very accurate.

Agreed! My main light weight rig is a 7mm mag. Wonderful performer on anything I'll hunt

I have two. A Tikka Wideland Veil and a Remington Sendero. The Sendero needs to find a new home, to heavy for an OD.

Model 70 Classic Stainless. Sub MOA shooter all day long with 160 Partitions and Sierra Game Kings. Friend of mine used one to take a nice RAM in Alaska at a lazered 650 yards. Can't ask for much more.

My first one was a Model 70 Classic SST. For whatever reason I just couldn’t get it to hold a pattern and the recoil made my teeth hurt.
I sold it and bought a Browning Hells Canyon Speed. With the break it feels like I’m shooting my 243 and without the break recoil steps up to 270 levels. It patterns real well. Maybe it just fits me better.
I did like the looks of the M70, but it just didn’t work out for me.

I wish I could remember the name of the guy here that had a signature line, "You don't have to be an aszhole to have a 7 Mag, but every aszhole has one".

I bought my first centerfire rifle, a 30-06, back in 1967. It kept my freezer full of deer, elk, and antelope meat for about 10 years until I moved to Montana and my new hunting partner gave my a .30 Gibbs case. I carried that case around in my pocket for a few months, and I liked the looks of it so much that I had my .30-06 re-chambered to .30 Gibbs.

For the next 20 some years that .30 Gibbs that rifle kept my freezers full of deer, elk, and antelope meat, along with a couple of Shiras moose and an Alaskan Caribou. Almost every day I still look at the mounts of many of those animals on my walls and re-live the great memories of those hunts.

My friend that gave me the .30 Gibbs case hunted with a 7 mm Rem mag, and for many years I thought that I should get one, but when I looked at the ballistics of the 7 mm RM, .30-06, and .30 Gibbs, they were so close that I couldn't justify me getting a 7 RM.

Then in 2000 I got invited to go on a hunt in South Africa with some friends. At the time I was going through a very nasty divorce and I couldn't use any of my guns, so I borrowed a 7 RM from one of the guys that I went to Africa with and used it on that hunt. That rifle was a Rem 700 ADL that my friend had in his pawn shop, and I later bought it from him.

In 2004 I used that rifle on a hunt in Canada's Northwest Territories and it put a Musk ox and a Caribou in the B&C record book for me. After that hunt I decided that I liked Rem 700 BDL model better, my pawn shop friend had a stainless model 700 in 7 RM, so I "traded up" with him.

I then used my "new" 7 mm RM on a variety of hunts, including another Canadian caribou hunt, this time in Quebec in 2017, the last year that Quebec allowed non-residents to hunt caribou. I again lucked out and shot the highest scoring Quebec-Labrador caribou that anyone regestered with B&C that year.

In the past few years I bought a couple of Weatherby Vanguard rifles in their Griptonite stocks. I really like the feel of those stocks and for years I wished that my Remington 700 BDL 7 mm RM was in one of those stocks. Then earlier this summer I saw an ad on line for a long action Weatherby Griptonite stock, so I bought it.

The dimensions and action screws of Rem 700s and Weatherby Vanguards are not the same, but with some cutting, grinding, drilling, and epoxy, I now have my 7 mm RM in a Wby Griptonite stock. I also glass and pillar bedded the action, lengthened the LOP 1/4", free floated the barrel, switched the sling swivels to flush mounted QD ones, fit a Houge recoil pad on it, and painted it black with white spider web. On top I have a Leupold VX 3i 4.5-14x40 CDS with side focus scope. It's my new favorite foul weather rifle.

Buffy,

Cool story and a very nice rifle!

Very nice rifle

Do Bergara 7RM rifles have mag boxes with the same 3.690" COAL to allow for 180 ELDs?

Tikka T3 by Eddie Fosnaugh is a true 1/4” rifle with IMR4350 and 140NBT
Remington Sendero is a 1/2” rifle but a bear to carry.
Great off the bench.

Really been wanting to throw one together. Probably defiance action 23” barrel. Haven’t worked out the particulars.

Only 2 - Remington Rem Mag and Sako Ultra Mag.

Just saw this and yes...it do play as nicely there,as a L/A 700 do,which is quite an attribute. Hint............

Sendero’s are heavy, ain’t a hill climbing gun

Up to three now. Started with a BAR Safari that was a high school graduation gift, later picked up 70s vintage 700 BDL, and just this season added a Colt Light Rifle that will be melvinized after the season is over. Does everything I need a rifle to do for deer and up around here.

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.

Thank you for your service

lot's of different 7 Mags out there ..... & non mag 7emem's

......

Here is my 7MM Rem Mag. One of my favourite rifles of all time. It utilizes the full length H&H magnum length magazine box. Has had three barrels and taken several head of game.

nice picture but you forgot the most accurate one the 7 BR

Don't have a cartridge.. send me a pc of brass and I'll include it in the updated poster coming up that will have a few more added, 7mm LRM, 7mm PRC and a couple others

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

Proud to be a Mega MAGA 284-on !!!

I never cared much for the taste of hind teat.

Perfection, great lefty M70! McMillan olive with black speckles?

x2

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.

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.............

Geez, its a 7\08, its a 280, it's a 7 MAG, its a blah blah fuuckin blah.... Pros\cons blah blah fuucking blah. Now we just need a failed shiit talking Arizona wannabe guide. Goodlord you fuuckers are dumb.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!............

I’ve never been without a 7mm Rem mag since 1975. Current one is Rem 700 stainless blueprinted action, 26” Shilen select match SS barrel, and McMillan Sako hunter stock.
I mostly bowhunt these days so it does not get a lot of action.

My 7 Mag puts yours to shame .....

Headstamp
Lives
Matter

...
195 gr Bergers & 197 gr Sierra's at 3300 fps with 30" bbl (1st pic) & 3225 fps with 26" bbl (2nd rifle)
both Rem 700's & no coal issues ...

1/4" 3 shot groups @ 100 yards, on the money out to 1760 yards !

SMOKIN' !

....

What’s the parent case for that? Case capacity?

375 ruger

https://www.gunwerks.com/blog/lrp-stories-2/the-birth-of-the-gunwerks-7lrm-256

Meh, not ....


338 Norma Magnum ... on Lapua & Peterson brass
Necked down and improved for 108.5 gr h20 cap.

Optimum capacity for heavy 7mm bullets, can run the 180 ELDM's at 3400 fps, but prefer a heavier payload

....

Hey I had to google it and that's what popped up, stop being so damn cryptic.... Hey Im in Willow honking my horn let me know when you hear it thanks...

What you doing in Willow .... lookin for Willowbillies ?

Study your alphabet, lol .. no cryptic hidden stuff

Long Range Hunter - LRH = 7mm/338 Norma Mag Improved circa 2012/2013 ..

predates the other wimpy one that doesn't have the capacity to push the 195-197 bullets to a usable level

Long Range Magnum -LRM = 7mm/375 Ruger castrated ie , shortened and reduced capacity ... Lots of guys still think it's a straight necked down 375 Ruger but that's "not the case" ... see what I did there, lol !

Big difference between the LRH & LRM .... which is barely a magnum

Listen I work at the dump for a reason.. my screen on phone is cracked pretty bad.. I hope I have some money left over on payday and I can get a new screen.. Far as cryptic you post stuff on these cool cartridges with no background on them. Granted I will never be able to afford one of those rifles you have. Unless H&R will make a barrel, that single shot H&R is a pretty sweet gun. One day I hope I find a scope in transfer trailers at the dump I work at. Then I can finally scope it.. I did find some canned moose the other day at the dump…

Dat’s what I thought. Thank you

Buddy has a 7 LRM and comparing it to the Mashburn I couldn’t see how it could produce more velocity

I have 6, thought it was five. 700 classic on top, 700 C Grade, 798 mauser, Sako GA, Sako, Sako. I got the Sako on the bottom in trade, need to sell it, haven’t fired it, bought a new factory pad for it. It has been hunted. I collect the older ones with grip cap and white spacer.

I’ve got two at the moment. A garden variety R700 and an Alaskan Wilderness 7 RUM. Don’t have much experience with them though.

Good looking rifles!

I have one. A 700 bdl ss. It's a 7mm saum

Sako L61R 7x61 S&H for me.

Is that a factory chambering?

Sounds like things are looking up for you then..

Oh lord I don’t think that canned moose meat wasn’t any good, my stomach is all ph ucked up and I been pissing out my ass all morning.

It would be my pick as well.

I only have one, but it’s a good one. Custom 700.

That's not good. No wonder they threw that schidt away!!! Go get another vaccination supplied by the tribe. I hear they are paying you to get more.. That may help monetarily.

I have a ss ruger 77 boat paddle 7mm I still haven't shot and a rem 700 I pieced together with a fluted mag shorter off a 700 ak ti on a ss action in an Alaskan ti stock. The pieced together faux ak ti shoots well and handles well but chambered up just a little on the tight side being snug against some brass brands belts. I like to set my belted stuff up to headsoace off the shoulder after the first pop but this ones right at the belt but still shoots well. I have another 30-06 ak ti take off I need to get on an action because I like the feel of the faux ak ti 700 so well.

Bb

Burleyboy,
We will have very similar rigs.
I have a 7 Rem Mag Alaskan ti barrel on a blued receiver, and another in 30-06.

Finally found a box of 180 eld-m’s. On a shelf at fin and feather

Local Cabelas had some last time I was there 47.99/box. I'll wait for the 175 eldx. I have plenty others and a worked up load for the 162 btsp and 162 Amax....mb

Nice rifle.

I've had a couple of "pawn shop friends" over the years. They cost me a fortune. They're both dead now, and I miss them.


Okie John

Never owned a 7mm of any ilk, myself. Probably should look into a 7 WSM or 7/08, just because.

I did grab a POS 7mm Rem Mag (bone stock Ruger 77, IIRC) from behind a friend's pickup seat to blast a mountain lion that had climbed too far up a P Pine for me to feel comfortable threading an arrow through the limbs. That rifle was also an awesome ditch tiger blower upper. Good times, back in my younger days...

Two 7mm Weatherby Magnums in Mark V rifles. One 24” and one 26” barrel. No prisoners , ever.

If I were to ever 7 “mag!!!”, it would be Roy. 👊🏻

No. I believe Schultz and Larsen were the only ones to ever offer it in a factory chambering.

The 3rd successful factory 7 mm Magnum.

280 Ross (.287)




275 H&H







7x61 S&H

I had one years ago. Never warmed to the caliber because of it. Bad stock design maybe, but it kicked like a friggen mule. I had a .308 Norma Mag on a 03-A3 customized which shot better with less felt recoil. Got rid of the 7 after a half-box, and never looked back as an owner, tho I've shot many of them since. I'd have bought that Husquavarna I worked on some years later, tho. 5-leaf clovers at 100, and mild felt-recoil. Owner wouldn't sell it, dang him anyway!

I do have half a dozen boxes of 7 mag ammo tho, in case I ever run out of .270, '06 and .338 WM fodder and components and can't get more. I can buy the rifle..

66 gr of RL 26 gave me 3000 fps and 3 shot 1/2” group .020 off lands in my 700 26” barrel. Very Happy with that

I have 2 7mm Remington Mag’s- both are Model 700’s, one is an LSS and the other a Long Range. Both shoot great but I’ve only used the Long Range for ground hogs. Might have to take the LSS out deer hunting sometime soon.
