There are very few cartridges between .257-300s that couldnt be argued as being all around best for ground hogs to elk. With such a wide selection of of bullets available in all calibers from highly frangible to tough controlled expansion bullets you can make a small caliber penatrate well for...

BTW my point was a 7mag is going roughly the same velocity at 100 yards as a .280 is at 20 yards, or pick any given range you want to. Or say a .280 at 100yards actually is moving faster then the 7 mag at 300....... So to say a .280 is fine caliber but a 7 mag is not when there ballistic...

Sorry, replied.

Its a repeater, blued action stainless barrel with the older 3 screw trigger which is very adjustable. Never looked the serial number up to see the age, see my first post for other info.

Well in order to prove your point I believe you need to invite me up for week of hunting Ill bring a 7mag so we can compare. ;)

Been there done that, used to live in eastern NC and have hunted there a lot more over the years. I also hunted almost exclusively with a 7mag for a few years and never had a deer run far at all. On the other hand I shot a deer over there with my 30-30 4 times that kept right on trotting...

Ive owned quite a few of them over the years and have been well pleased. My bro in law has a rem 700 sporter that I worked up a load for, it hovers in the low 3 inch range at 500 yards fairly consistently. 3 shot groups btw and kills dear quite nicely with 100 grain noslers and a casefull of...

As above , Savage BVVS stainless fluted barrel and laminated stock. I havent shot the gun as I got it as part of a package deal and dont need it. Its supposed to have less then 200 rounds through it. I dont have a borescope to verify. There is some wear on the stock mostly around the bolt grip...

Good stuff, Thanks!

Anyone have any good info on this? Whats the pet powder?

Now on ebay maybe you can get it cheap! Remingont 700 VLS short action stock/ Bedded! Floated! - eBay (item 120291020616 end time Aug-09-08 16:49:32 PDT)

Heres a close up with a savage varmint barrel in it.

I measured the barrel channel at the tip an its an inch wide so it should be close. Rem varmint barrels are what .830 at the muzzle so I would expect they would .850-900 at the tip of the stock whick would clear well. It looks like it was just cleaned up to float the factory sized barrel. I...

As above, it has been bedded an the barrel channel opened somewhat. $125 + 15 shipping
