Couldn’t help myself, if we’re doing ballistics.. this is the 7prc with a 20” barrel, 175 berger elete hunter starting out at 2800, and a 180 eld-m starting out at 2750. Moderate speed, I could get a...

I went with a 7mmRM as a second rifle. At the time my main gun was a 7mm08 and i wanted more hitting power for open country. The rem mag has been excellent but you also need good optics to go with...

I’d look at a 7RM or 300WSM, particularly if not reloading. If you are reloading then it opens up a lot more options as mentioned. 300WM is just a lot of gun. 7 PRC will be cracker if they come out...

I went down this path years ago. Started with a 308 went to 300wsm. Had a WSM for close to 20yrs. Shot deer from 20m to 750m. A great caliber to own, my favorite was 200g eld x. I have now gone back...

The 280ai is a absolute ripper, sold my Rem mag after getting it. Pushes the 162's just as fast as the 7mmRM did with less powder and recoil. Definitely a calibre to look at if you're looking at a...

If I was you and only because you are running factory ammo stay with the .270 or Creedmoor or 7-08 the 300 mag and PRC are a massive jump in horse power. I've just sold my 7prc and are sticking with...

Do you hand load ? If you roll your own then the options are much greater/better. In 7mm you should consider 280ai, 284 and 7SAUM, and the new kid on the block, 7PRC. You can get factory ammo for...

7mm is the ballistic sweet spot. A 280 Winchester, 7rem mag, 7saum, 7 prc would serve you well. Out to 600 yards most of those rifles can get away with a short barrel. I have a 20” 7prc pushing a 175...

Personally Id prefer parallax, I have a 2.5-10 scope with parallax adjustment and use it all the time.

These could be high performing at a respectable price here (going by US retail prices some will be less than a VX5) MK5's are amazing but expensive.. I can imagine the 2.5-10 going well for...

It’s slightly more more compact in the flesh than a Z6 or V6 3-18 from the other Euros. Tactile clicks, zero stop and two clicks below zero to get to the stop. Awesome reticle. B
