what size bullet (7MM rem mag)
« on: March 13, 2011, 03:37:28 PM »
I attended the RMEF banquet in Everett with my Grandpa last night and won a riffle.  Its a Remington 770 in 7mm rem mag.  I know the 770 isn't the best of guns but it is the caliber of rifle I wanted.  My questions are should I try to trade it in and upgrade? And what's the bullet size of choice?   I already have a 7mm08 that I shoot 140 grains out of so I was thinking of shooting the 175 grain out of the rem mag.  Right now the only thing I hunt with a rifle is bear but I wouldn't count out trying modern season for elk.

Anyone know anything about the 770.  Should I try to sell this gun or trade it in on a upgrade.  If so where is a good place to do so?  I would really like to get a Browning or a sako in 7mm instead of this 770

Trading a Remington for a Browning or a Sako is like trading a gold nugget for a piece of coal, its just not gonna happen, but selling, I would try gunbroker.com or gunsamerica.com

I would trade it in and upgrade to a Rem 700.  If it were me, I think I'd take it to Cabelas, see what they give me for it, and see what is on their used shelf in the 700 model.   :dunno:

The 160 grain Barnes TSX would be a very good choice.

I am shooting 160gr Accubonds with RL-19 powder. The load is in the Nosler book. Very accurate! I am not a fan of recoil though. :chuckle:

I'm not talking straight across trade.  I was saying trade it in and pay cash for the difference
