I wouldn't have traded a 25-06 away on a 7mm Rem Mag when I already had a 30-06, but as long as you are happy.

RE: ..Was?this a bad trade???
 

Seems like a pretty much equal trade to me. That is unless you shoot the 7 Mag and and find out it's got a bad barrel or some other problem.

RE: ..Was?this a bad trade???
 

Tell us how it shoots ,it sounds okay .

RE: ..Was?this a bad trade???
 

Sounds like you did alright.If it has decent engraving it should increase the value.They are the same rifles except for the calibers and you said the 7 was in better condition.Both are good deer calibers.Unless the engraving is sub standard I think you did pretty good.

Sounds like a good trade, as long as you are happy. I recently traded a friend my interarms 22-250 for a Rem 700 BDL in 7mm rem mag and i am really happy.

RE: ..Was?this a bad trade???
 

TOTOE...You didn't make a bad trade.

I'm just disappointed that you traded the best WV deer gun away. LOL

RE: ..Was?this a bad trade???

Cheer up, Totoe. Now, you can say you miss your old rifle and have a perfect excuse to buy a new .25-06. And keep the 7mm...

I got a new Ruger compact for my wife ;; I think I made a pretty good trade too. <img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: ..Was?this a bad trade???
 

If you're happy and he's happy it was a good trade..

RE: ..Was?this a bad trade???
 

setting looks aside , what really matters is function , reliability , and accuracy . if it is in better condition and is a shooter , then it was a decent trade , but what shooting are you going to use it for ??

RE: ..Was?this a bad trade???
 

I feverybody uses them (7 mag), why did your friend swap for your 2506? just curious. However it sounds like a fair trade if the rifle is in fact in better condition than yours.

RE: ..Was?this a bad trade???
 

As long as it shoots and functions OK, not a bad trade.

Keep yore powder dry!!

RE: ..Was?this a bad trade???
 

You got a fair trade. If you like it, that's all that matters.
