7mm short mag
« on: August 14, 2012, 07:50:16 PM »
I have an opportunity to buy a Winchester m70 7mm short mag with cheap simmons scope less than 75 rounds fired through for $275. Good deal? Is this a good elk/bear rifle? Dont know much about this caliber. Thanks!

Good rifle. I've shot a few elk and several deer with mine and it will definitely put them down. You can always upgrade the scope if need be but it sounds like a good deal.

what happened to the .300???
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

That cartridge has enough power to take down anything you would hunt in Washington and the ballistics are good. But if you don't reload, the ammo is expensive and can be hard to find.
