Thread: 7mm Rem Mag or 284 Win.

Whilst the brass prep is a bit annoying, the case life should be pretty good and barrel life would be good also. Also every man and his dog seems to have a Rem mag.

For a pure hunting rifle, the Rem mag is probably the way to go, but as I'd likely be building a hunting/target/tactical jack of all trades kinda thing, the better barrel life of the 284 appeals to me.

That wont end well
