I have the opportunity to buy a mint used BAR in 7mm. I have used a Remington semi-auto.30-06 for 40 years and love the .06. I hunt mainly deer but moose also every few years. Any comments would be appreciated on this gun and calibre. Thx
I don't favor any semi-auto for hunting, but the BAR's are supposedly good. The one I had wasn't, however! And since it was a Grade IV, there was no excuse for its' unreliable performance!!
I assume you mean 7mm Rem. Mag. ?? A superb cartridge, it is badly underloaded by the factories. A good 7 Mag. deserves to be handloaded for..... I found the 175-grain Nosler Partitions at 3050 FPS MV to bereal elk & moose killers!
