Hello. Been on this site many times and decided today was the day. I live in the southwest and enjoy being in the middle of nowhere within 30 minutes. Long range has been a passion of mine for a couple decades ever since a huge bull elk walked away from reach across a 600 yard canyon. Since then I've had many different rifles, calibers and scopes but have settled a couple years ago on one specific caliber. I think I even recently found the rifle and scope combo I prefer to hunt with. I'm a mechanical engineer so I'm always trying to do it another way or a better way so time will tell. I do have an interest in another rifle already but if I pull the trigger on it the caliber will remain 7mm Rem. Mag.

welcome from eastern ky

Welcome to LRH. Great to have you on board. The 7mm rem mag has plenty of horse power to propell heavy bullets downrange at long distances.

Well I'm no expert, but I have a 7mmRM loaded 72 grains of retumbo and a 168 berger vld . It's coming out of an older Rem sendero. I practice out to 1000 yards with it and have been pleased. Last year I had to opportunity to kill my first bull at 796 yards across a canyon here in so Idaho. I was amazed by the performance when he hit the dirt with twp broken shoulders. 7mmRM fan now for sure.

Brad., welcome to LRH, 7mm rem will kill with good bullets, like the berger
