Hello hunter,
I love my Rem. mod. 700BDL in 7mm Rem Mag.!
It does have a muzzle break on it and a sims limbsaver recoil pad.
It is topped by a Leupold VariX3 3.5x10x50.
I did even get it glass bed.
Before the bedding, I was at 1 1/4" at 100yds.
It does kick, but at about 1 grand invested, can you complain?
Why settle for a caliber a little bit less or a little bit more?
I did whack a deer in Montana about 100yds. out. It did run about the same 100 yds quartering towards me to expire. A little hole on entry side and both lungs and the heart hanging out the other side!
I can't really complain.
I should have stayed single if I wanted to hunt more.
BC
