Opinions on new 7 mm rem mag

[UBA]

Tika or savage is what I would do. I have a savage 7 rem mag and love it. I have another savage that I ripped the barrel off and threw another caliber on. Love the fact u can change barrels at home atleast on the older ones. Don't know why people hate on the belted rounds

This is the only rifle that I own.  I got it many, many years ago.  I love the 7 MM Mag.

My new 7mm mag,  its a 280 Remington AI

A BAR would be nice, as it would soak up recoil. They are accurate, and reliable. BLR? The A-Bolt is another dandy. Maybe an offering from Weatherby? Hope you enjoy maknig your decision.

Check out Howa. They have a new mountain rifle that's 5.7 pounds. Or the  standard 1500. Twice the quality you'll get from Rem. or Savage

 I own "a couple" rifles, in multiple calibers, and always reach for the same 7mm when it comes to hunting season, regardless which state or which critter I'm after.

 For $1200 I would be looking to pick up a pre owned Kimber or Cooper, you will never need another rifle for hunting anything in the Americas!

Tikka t3 lite. Pretty tough to beat for an out of the box gun. Lightweight, accurate and  a good trigger for a factory rifle. I'd go with a stainless model and some dnz or Talley rings and have money left for a good scope.

You can rebarrel, re-stock and fully blueprint your current rem 700 for less then that. And maybe even lengthen the magwell for longer handloads. The new berger 7mm 195grn has a g1 bc of .755, that is incredible! Too bad it won't fit in anything off the shelf.

you will have no regrets if you blue print and rebarrel that 700 also put a Jewell trigger on it. 7 RM is a very capable cartridge you can confidently push a 180 vld over 3000 fps that's some serious smack down.

Refurbishing your old Rem would make more sense to me if your going to stay with the same caliber.  By the way I haven't owned  a 7mm Rem Mag for 36 yrs but when I did shoot one it was a great round. I hunted deer in northern MN and my go to round was the 175 RN.  I never found a place to stretch it out enough to use anything sleeker than that.

7 Rem mag is not a cartridge I like,( more noise than performance) but AWS summed it up, if that is what you want rebuild it!!!
you can make a great gun!!!

I hunt with the same 7mm Rem Mag Model 700 my dad bought me new when I was 15 (I'm 51 now). I have a gun safe full of options that I never use. About 10 years a ago my brother in law rebarreled it with a stainless steel, put on a composite stock on it, a new 3-9 Leopold and the old soldier was ready to go again. I recommend you do the same!
