Q. I am looking into buying a Remington Model 770 in 7mm Mag or .300 Mag, does anybody have one to give a review on? I like the looks of the new Model 770, but it is scarily cheaper than the older 700 models and wonder if the price reduction results in a "Bad Cheap Rifle" not worth saving the money on?

A. In my personal experience,I cannot recommend a model 770 to anyone. I sold mine after repeated attempts to get it to function properly. It is "scarily cheaper" for a reason. I had issues with the molded in receiver causing the bolt to jam. I finally had someone willing to buy it,knowing about the problems they have. Anyway,pay some more,and get a 700,which I still have in 30-06,and have had no problems with.

Asked by Hunter - Sun Aug 23 15:32:07 2009 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Compared to the usual 24 barrel, you will lose approximately 100fps wilth most factory ammo. I'm surprised to see anyone having produced a magnum with the shorter barrel length, given the added muzzle blast as well as reduced velocity, especially since the dismal failure of the otherwise fine .264 WinMag in the Model 70 Featherweight, a couple of generations ago. Given that much factory loaded 7mag falls short of advertised specs, what you most likely have there, for all practical purposes, is a very loud .280. So handloading is a great idea. Most magnum loads call for slow-burning powders, which presume a longer barrel to burn completely and efficiently, so you will need to find a comparitively fast burning powder to maximise the efficacy… [cont.]

I just got a 7mm mag and want to set it up for long range hunting. What is best scope for the task?
Q. I want to be able to range find and field adjust scope for different ranges easily. I'm thinking 4-16x50 or so. Would like to get it for under $400. I'm talking shots over 500 yds. I currently shoot a 3-9 and it is inadequate. Not enough detail visable. I need to be able to see wind patterns, objects that could deflect the shot and obviously good shot placement.

A. CD I compete on three different types of 1000 yard ranges. From military style to metallic silhouettes. I only use Leupold for my competition rifles and for most of my hunting rifles. Most common is the 6x18 and I have two that go up to 24 power. On the regular 200 to 1000 yard ring targets you can get by with a 3x9. One area to consider is what the target will be and what the surrounding area will be viewed as. The field you select will need to take into account, ambient light, cloud cover, and what distractions from the background will come into view. One other item you will find invaluable is a GOOD spotting scope. Select one that will allow you to make out the individual lines on a 1000 yard target. From personal experience I'll… [cont.]

A. I was told a 26" barrel is needed to achive the max.velocity for magnum caliber rifles.I'm sure you have already checked on reloading books for 22" barrel for max velocity.Did you look for H1000 powder combined with Berger bullet coz due to it's design you will get higher B.C. than other bullets.

7mm Rem Mag Shooters can you help?
Q. I have browning Medallion 7mm mag rifle has 26" barrel what grain bullet gives your rifle the tightest group and which brand is it.Do you really believe in using only ballastic tip bullet for long range shooting using ballastic chart..Any Info would help.Thank you.
Asked by Tarzan - Wed Nov 26 23:19:05 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Many things make for a tight group, probably the most important being the shooter. How secure the rest is, quality of scope/mounts, and not overheating the barrel are also factors. For hunting, I prefer well constructed hunting bullets, such as Nosler Partition, CCI Grand Slam. Ballistic charts work, but you need muzzle velocity, and bullet make. You can typically find specific ballistic charts in reloading books, such as Hornady and Speer. My Browning Hunter in 7mm Rem Mag likes 175 gr Nos Partitions, but that doesn't mean yours will.

Q. Please Note the steps to me
Asked by Cross marker - Sun Jan 4 21:16:39 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Please let's use the correct terminology. What you have is a cartridge, not a bullet. Your cartridge was made by Winchester. If you want to make it into a dummy cartridge and mount it this is what you need to do. 1. Remove the bullet. That is the part that leaves the gun at high speed and goes down range.The best method is with a kinetic bullet puller. It looks like a hammer, it is hollow with a device to grab the extraction grove on the case. You then hit the face of the extractor on a hard surface to pull out the bullet. You can pull the bullet using a pair of pliers, but the bullet will be scarred and there is a slight chance of harm coming to you. 2 Once you have the bullet out, remove the gun powder. This will pour out of the case.… [cont.]

A. I use the exact rifle and caliber(mines left handed) for deer hunting. The weapon is extremely accurate with the factory barrel. Especially with the right ammo. Try Remington accutip 150 gr sierra boat tails. At 200 yrds I'm hitting the same hole. Also you didn't mention what type of scope you topped it with. The scope is also a very important part of the equation.

7mm Mag good for Texas deer hunting?

Asked by Laslos k - Wed Nov 26 15:42:05 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Dead is dead. I really don't buy into the overkill theory. Besides - if it keeps them from dying in a creek or at the bottom of the ravine, I'll take the extra loss of meat. Texas deer are small bodied deer though and you're likely not going to find anything more than 200 pounds. So I think something like a 308 or 30-06 would be fine too. If you hit them in the ribs with a 7mag the bullet hole is about the size of a quarter just like any other cartridge. You hit them in the shoulder you're about going to rip it right off it's torso --- same with a lot of centerfires though. It does a little more damage. You can buy the 7mag and shoot the 150gr powerpoints. If it tears up too meat or you don't like the recoil, you can buy the managed… [cont.]

A. 7mm Remington Magnum is very popular, so you shouldn't worry too much about availability. Recoil is of course more than with smaller cartridges like the 7mm08 and less than 300 Winchester Magnum, moderate but to some unpleasant. It's a good choice if you're in mountains where hunting ranges tend to stretch across canyons, as for sheep, and it's not unreasonable for less extreme hunting. I know one man who bought his for sheep but uses it for short-range hogs and whitetails, as well as elk. That's pretty versatile. The 7mm08 is a 308 Winchester necked down to 284. It was developed to knock down the metallic rams way out there, but has become a very popular deer cartridge, being very close to 7x57 Mauser in ballistics. Many gun writers (and… [cont.]

Asked by donnie n - Sat Dec 22 01:26:01 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Assuming that you are using factory loaded ammo, you may have a headspace problem. Try another brand of ammo, you may have an over-sized batch. If you are using reloaded ammo, tighten the resizing die down a touch untill the bolt closes freely. Ensure that the chamber is clean, with no rust spots (not unheard of on a new rifle), the bolt face is clean, then, if the problem still exists, send it back.

Asked by Lance W - Wed Jan 2 19:38:27 2008 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In my opinion, any 7mm (280/284) cartridge is far superior than anything 270 - sorry I was raised in a 280 household. For deer hunting, I use either a 7mm Rem Mag or 7MM-08. Each rifle is VERY accurate. I know that when I pull the trigger - I will have a fatal shot. With the mag - you have the option to use a much heavier bullet without losing too much muzzle velocity - but I rarely go above 150 grain bullets. Other than personal preference - there really isn't THAT much difference. But if you have the extra $$ - a man can never have too many firearms.

A. I've hunted with both for a pile of years...and I would have to say Mountain Man and Doc are on the same page as I. A 7mm is a great rifle, but a Muzzleloader is the fundamental of building-blocks of good shooting. Also, you can shoot more rounds without the side-effects of a shooting a mag. Other than that, you can also hunt more seasons. (especially in Wis.)
