VTbowman Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have a chance to ge ahold of an Encore rifle bbl in this caliber in trade for a pistol bbl. I do not know very much about this caliber so if you do can you please post some info. Like Recoil compared to a 30-06? Things like that. I have mainly just shot 30 caliber from the 30-30 to 300 Ultra Mag but know little about anything else. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Goose Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: 7mm Rem Mag info? I don't know much but if you have shot the Ultra mags I am assuming you can handle the 7 mm. Bullet is .280 in dia if I am correct and it is a flat shooting, hard hitter good for almost all North American Game. Aj will fill in the rest and make corrections I'm sure. Good luck!

VTbowman Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: 7mm Rem Mag info? Recoil is not my concern after toting the Remington 700 LSS .300 Ultra Mag around for a few years. Took many deer and at long range too. Great gun but heavy. My sticks were sore by the end of the week carrying that monster around the mountians... I am hoping the Encore is not as heavy.

coles Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: 7mm Rem Mag info? the 7mm recoil would be something comparable to a 30-06. i have never shot a 06 but im pretty sure that it is less. i guess a better comparison would be a little more than a 270. i have shot one deer with my dads 7mm and i didnt even notice it and its a very flat shooting gun. well worth it.

Guest Xen Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Re: 7mm Rem Mag info? imo, the 7mm mag recoil was a bit more than the .30-06 - not by much, but enough that you can feel a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
