Thread: What factory 7mmRM rifle?

Looking to buy a long range hunting/steel rifle dont want to get to fancy or custom but would like to be able to seat bullets out a bit, so longer mag good

Sako

Are they any better than tikka with there short ars mags

Nice long mags in a LA Sako

What if your a broke lineman and cant afford a sako 85 ?

Tikka T3 is good value.

i got myself a remington long range 7mm, jammed solid on first shot. after having it sorted out by zac at nth canty gunsmiths its a tack driver. got a hare just shy on a km so cant complain

Is your 700 heavy?
My remmy shotgun is a fckn dog
My old 700 in 270 never let me down but she was a old girl

The sauer 100 and bergara seem good value

REM700 or Howa/ Weatherby all very good value, and good mag length

I have a sauer 100 in 708 i like it alot but you cannot change the barrels out easily, they are heat shrinked not screwed. Those bergara hmr look cool do they do magnum?

yep howa SS barreled action new for 870 odd and then add a stock

Don't know about chambering for the bergara but the sauer 100 is a screw fit...the 101 and 202 are press fit

Savage, may not be the prettiest but has a faster twist so will run the higher bc bullets

The Tikka and Sako give you good throat length if you wanna shoot the 180s with rel 33. You will have to single feed the tikka though (I have to single feed mine with 162s) but the Sako 85 will have a long enough magazine (Sako A7 same mag length as Tikka I think so same issue). Browning X-Bolt and Howa 1500 might be alright but I dunno how they are for throat and magazine length?
