I am looking to get a new gun. What are yalls opinions on the round!!!

xcellent round if your not real flinchy, pretty stout recoil

What do you plan to use the gun for? 7Mag is probably more than you need for Texas hunting.

If you think you need a 7mm I would go ahead to a 300win that way you can use 150gr for deer and if you ever get a chance at elk or larger game you can get 180gr

Everyone will tell you that it's way too much gun for Texas. But, with the wide variety of bullet choices it will do anything you want. Factory loaded 110-175 grain bullets to choose from.

One recommendation though.....invest the extra $200 in a muzzle break to take away the recoil.

Limbsaver pad on mine made a huge difference. With one on it cuts recoil by more then hlaf in my opinion.

Dead is dead. 7mm Mag will do it for everything in Texas, like the .30-06 will..or .270 Win...308 Win..etc. But, a lot of people like it fine. My brother-in-law and several friends swear by a 7 Mag.

my 7Mag has never let me down. it is kinda nice that they dont run, they just kinda lay down when ya hit them with it! LOL

Yea I guess shooting too flat and hitting too hard is a problem.

I do not have a 7Mag but do have a 7STW. There are times and hunting places it gets to go hunting when I expect long range shooting.

Much like a fighter jet do you need the afterburners very often, nope but when needed it is nice to have the extra power and speed.

I love mine except when shooting it in!I do not have a muzzle brake,has a pretty good recoil,mainly use it up north!

The best round out there, imo.

Coming straight from the source! can't ask for any better advice.

Guess a 16 lb sledge will drive a nail, too...

A 7MM is just like the perfect girlfriend.
Will never let you down(lost game)
always provide food
never talk back
protect your life
and is always there waiting for you.

Plus even if you hit it in the toe, it will die, and you will find it. LOL

yeah but watch your fingers

Get a "friend" to hold it

Yep in one whack, job done.

Yes, it will, doesn't mean you have to build a house with it.

The 7mm Mag is no joke. I've owned mine for three years since I've returned from Iraq. When I leave Kuwait, I'll be back in the woods with it to slaughter some hogs.

if you are limited to one rifle, then its a good all around caliber.



if you have a few guns in your aresenal, its ideal for shooting down a clear cut or sendero, but a little much for getting one under a feeder at 75 yards.


a really good south and west texas round for when shots can be over 200 yards

The 7mm Rem Mag is a great round. Flat and fast, with knock down power.

I won't even pick up anything smaller than a 25-06 for serious deer hunting. jmo.

Well, I take that back. 257 Roberts.

Yeah thats what I have on mine as well. I can shoot a box of shells and not even have a sore shoulder.
