RE: New Rifle
I like your choice of the 700 bdl ss dm but in 7mm mag.It shoots a bit flatter than the 30-06 and has a bit more power with very similar recoil.As for variety of factory loads; a quick look through one of my catalogues shows that the 7mmm rem mag is available in 8 loads from remington,2 from speer,6 from hornady,12 from federal and 6 from winchester for a total of at least 34 different loadings.More than enough for any situation.
