I got to the point where I closed my eyes, had them hand me rifles and piced the 700 just because of how it felt. No regrets.

So the Rem Mag in tikka looks decent and I know tons of people that love them. How is the trigger out of the box? Are they adjustable?
Great triggers and yes they adjust. Think it's 2-4 lbs, I just bought another one last week :tup:

My vote is for the 7mm rem mag. When you do start reloading check out the nosler accubond 160. Its a great long range hunter
The 160 Accubond works wonders on Rockchucks when launched from a 7mm Ultra Mag case, beautiful air. Like a rag doll Apollo moon shot. :tup: I need a cold shower after typing that! :chuckle:

Bigger, I was thinking about the 7mm RUM but it seems like it may be a dying cartidge. Not too much of a worry if I'm reloading but I'd like it to take off a bit better first. That's got to be a mean cartridge. Was it a pain working up a load for it? Heard getting all the powder to ignite can be kind of a pain.
I just stuff mine with RL-25, it's super Accurate, flat and fast! I have a soft spot for the 7mm Magnum though. My first rifle I purchased was a new Rem700 7mm Magnum BDL when I was 15. I worked all summer. Handed my father the cash, walked into the gun store. I pointed out the one I wanted and the scope along with several boxes of ammo and my father made the purchase. I took it home put it all together and leaned it in the corner next to my bed and I can't even recall the hours I sat and stared at that rifle waiting for hunting season.
Funny thing was I had to check out my BB rifles from my father, I couldn't have them in my room. Yet, here I was at 15 with my rifle in my room and the boxes of shells stacked next to it at 15 years old. So a day or two after I had it I asked my dad. Why was it I can have a magnum rifle and the ammo for it in my room and not my BB guns. My father was reading the paper, he looked over the paper and said. " I would like to see you try to get away with shooting the neighbors windows out with that thing". And with that he went back to his paper.
The rest is history, that rifle was a elk and Mulie killing machine, when I started reloading by myself a year later. I loaded the 175gr Nosler Partition and flattened everything I hit with it. It's a great cartridge.
