Is the 7mm. Rem. Mag dieing?
I was talking to owner of one of my local gun shops the other day and we got to talking about how I was trying to decide on the caliber of the next rifle I'm going to buy.
He said something that kinda' caught me off guard. He said, in his eyes, the great 7mm. Rem. Mag. was a dieing caliber.
His point was that so many hunters are going to opposite ends of the spectrum in caliber selection for hunting. He said that he's selling lots of calibers like the .243, LOTS of the .25-06, and as always a steady number of .270's and .30-06's.
He said that there also seems to another "category" of deer hunters he's selling to. The come in wanting the7mm. Ultra Mag, .300 Win. Mag., .300 Ultra Mag. and the like.
He was saying that he had really like the 7mm. Rem Mag for deer/bear/elk hunting but he said his sales of that caliber were going through the floor.
Just wondering what you folks thought. I do see his point, but I also know quite a few guys that swear by their "7 MAG".
What do ya' think? Is the "7 MAG" here to stay or going away?
