RodinAZ Report post Posted January 11, 2019 I'm in the market for a new "do all" hunting rifle. My last rifle was chambered in 7 Mag, it shot well, just didn't fit me as well as I wanted. The only reason I didn't default to the 300 Mag is I've got a bunch of brass, bullets and cases for the 7mm. I've been looking at the standard Browning Hells Canyon rifles, reviews are positive and they feel good in my paws. That's the direction I'm leaning, just need to decide on chambering. This will be used for deer, elk and pronghorn, assuming I am lucky enough to draw. What's your opinion? Tia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SHOOTER Report post Posted January 11, 2019 You can't go wrong with either. But if it were me and I had the 7mm stuff already I would go with a tight twisted 7 mm RM. And shoot 160+ grain bullets. The browning fits that bill also take a look at the Christensen Arms mesa too. Both nice rifles. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted January 11, 2019 I agree... go with the 7mag. Not really much gain with the .300 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted January 11, 2019 I have had both and reloaded for both but primarily have shot the 7Mag since the early 90's and have taken bear, deer, caribou and elk from 20 yards to about 300 with no complaints. It will shoot 2" groups with factory HSM at 300 yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcdinaz Report post Posted January 11, 2019 7mm! Have it chambered for the Berger EOL 195 if you reload. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RodinAZ Report post Posted January 12, 2019 Ok, that does it. Looks like the 7mm gets the nod. Now I gotta sacrifice something to get something. Ha 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted January 12, 2019 Shot this last weekend. Factory trigger set to 3#'s, 25 year old rifle. Looking to find a place this weekend where I can see how it does at 400-600 before I leave for Sonora. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
