The differences are in the factory offerings. 7RM rifles and ammo are constrained to older twist rates and lighter bullet weights. The 7 PRC offers higher twist rates plus it is throated for heavy for caliber bullets which equals better BC and long distance shootability in a factory rifle with...
I have both. The Sig links to my kestrel and I use it for competitions it is never wrong. The revic has better glass processing time is just as fast and is always within .25 moa of the Sig kestrel combo. Both of them are usually exactly the same when I use them side by side. But again every once...
I started long range hunting coming from the camp of thought that if you couldn’t get within 200 yards, you weren’t a good hunter. But I had a buck that eluded me for 3 years only to have another hunter get him. In reflection of my close calls, he gave me the slip so many times because he was in...
The only time I have done single shot testing was after shooting multiple groups (hundreds of shots to get the load perfected and BC trued). I did one shot every day for two months to get an idea oa what my cold bore did over varying climate conditions. That was April and May of 2020. So far the...
As has been said all of the factory options have better machining and better tolerances. So pick which one feels best in your hands.
One thing to consider: the newer cartridge offerings, Hornady PRC line for example, have created those cartridges with efficiency and inherent accuracy in mind...
Leupold Mark 5 3.6-18x44. Robust but not heavy. Good glass and really nice turrets with a great locking system. Good mag range for hunting, FFP and I have come to love the simplicity of the PR1 MOA reticle, yet it has all the info you need. My favorite hunting scope that allows for accurate...
I put an Area 419 Hellfire on my 28Nos and it has been exceptional. They seem to do better than most others at recoil mitigation.
If you ever switch to a suppressor, they make also adapters that go to many popular suppressors that will use their same barrel nut so you can easily go back and...
Amen! How many rifles does a guy need? At least one more!! Then after he gets that one more? The answer is the same…at least one more!
Also agree. Love heavier bullets for BC/SD advantages. I tend to shoot them better as well. Also the node just below max always seems to be the best combo of...
I have tried a few different ones. Settled on the Hellfire from area 419. Doesn’t meet your esthetic criteria, but it has been the best at recoil reduction that I’ve tried. A big bonus is the system they use for attachment has a suppressor adapter for many suppressors, so you can go that route...
Backing up and pointing a camera and pistol was not the best move. As soon as that can’t pins his ears and lives your direction I would be slinging lead. And I would shoot until that cat hit ground! Then pull the phone out! That cat would be the ultimate trophy; “I killed that cat when he tried...
I have two 7 saum now. One ultralight on an AnTi action with 21 inch proof. They both shoot lights out. But the light one is special. My best groupings I’ve ever **** are you that rifle. I will never not have a 7 saum in the stable. Why did I wait so long…
I have seen this with a couple friends Christensen rifles. Both Ridgeline and Mesa. I have also seen a few that shoot well. So it’s frustrating and tempting to keep trying. You should do what they ended up doing after hundreds and hundreds of dollars and hundreds of rounds and many hours of...
