Yes I bought the rifle new. I will break-in the barrel even though some state it is unnecessary. It certainly can't hurt, right? I would like to stay at 165gr or maybe even try 180gr if I can find them. My local Cabelas and Academy have limited options in 7mm Rem Mag. I wouldn't mind trying...

I bought one box of SST Superformance, one box of Precision Hunter, and one box of Rem Corelokt - all around 165gr. My plan is to break-in the barrel with Corelokt then try the other two and see how they group. My M700 .308 likes both the 150gr and 165 gr SST loads just fine. I have had mixed...

Thanks again for your input. What ammo would you recommend for whitetail and mule deer?

I get ya that recoil can't be reduced. I guess distributed or "felt" recoil is what Nathan is talking about. He also states that Monte Carlo stocks allow the rifle to recoil at an upward angle making follow-up shots harder as NPOA has changed. I am curious if the raised comb will make it...

After reading parts of "The Practical Guide to Long Range Hunting Rifles" I decided to make the swap. Nathan Foster states in this book that Monte Carlo stocks give a bigger recoil especially in Mag chamberings. I haven't even mounted a scope on this rifle yet but don't want to bed a stock...

Sorry for the double post. I didn't realize my first reply was on the 2nd page so I posted again. Feel free to remove first post if desired.

I have the smaller version of this spotting scope. I believe its 15-48x65mm. It is of decent build quality, but I struggle field judging animals that are beyond 500yds. It really loses clarity at high mag setting. I tried using it to spot grouping at 250yds and I couldn't see the holes in...

I bought a vortex 1200 last year and this year I noticed that an internal lens has loosened. I can't get it to focus consistently and something can be heard when shaking the unit. I have contacted vortex, but haven't sent it back yet. It's under lifetime warranty so I expect they will make it...

I have the BX-4 in 10x42. They perform fine and I'm happy with them. My previous pair was Nikon monarch 10x40. These definitely beat the Nikons.

I have the smaller version of this spotting scope in 65mm I believe. It does OK but I can't field judge animals at long ranges (600yds plus) at high zoom. I'm considering saving up for better glass.

I have used the 150gr and 165 gr out of my .308 with mixed results. 1) First deer was muley buck shot at 300 yds with 150gr SST Superformance. One shot kill through both lungs slightly quartered away and deer lunged forward once before dropping. It was out of site when it went down in the...

Hi all, I'm new here and just bought a Rem M700 Long Range rifle chambered in 7mm Rem Mag. I would like to change out the Monte Carlo style stock for a straight comb like the Sendero has. Does anyone know if the barrel diameters are the same? I believe they are according to info found on...

I’m brand new to the forum and just bought a 7mm Rem Mag to start getting into long range hunting. I found the forum searching for the differences between ELD-M and ELD-X bullets.
