[QUOTE="Tall, post: 822154, member: 56517"] When I was a wee little boy at 16 years of age, I wanted to buy my own gun. I bought a 7 mm Remington mag because it was the best all around deer, elk, Moose gun. This is what I was told by my Dad, My older Brother, and my dads hunting buddy and ex Vietnam sniper. I bought a 7mm Rem Mag based on the merits of my Elders. I heard all the discussions from people about my dick is bigger than your dick. Bahahaha! When I was younger we hunted for food not trophies. Yes of course shooting a trophy was still the goal. Arguments for the 7mm rem mag was it was a more accurate, flatter shooting gun. I think the only time flatter is not better is when talking about the curve of a women's chest. My Brother inlaw hates the 7mm and thinks that .30 caliber is better because its bigger and better. I think he just doesnt like the sound of 7mm. Personally I thinks its because he is shorter than the average bear and always has to have the biggest baddest of everthing. This is why he shoots a Blaser 300 RUM. He insists that my 7mm 168 Gr Berger with a MV of 3030 fps is not going to have the knock down power of his 180 gr remington sciroccos. Personally I like my chances. 9 of the last 10 elk I have shot was under 100 yards and the 1 out of 10 was over 300 yards and droped in its tracks. A few were shot in the head. When Elk take cover in the pines that is were I go. Most places in the pines you can't even see 100 yards. It hasn't been until the last 5 years that I had the right scope and set up to shoot long ranges. I think to shoot a monster mule deer my chances are going to get much better being able to shoot between 400 and 800 yards. I am shooting the same 7mm I bought in 1984. I am putting 5 inch group at 1000 yards. I think that is rather amazing for an off the shelf hunting rifle. My wood stock broke so I put a synthetic stock on, its not pillar bedded or glass bedded yet. I plan to do it soon. Sorry I went on and on. [/QUOTE]
