700 bdl,No engraving older gun,same mounts the 7 mag is in
better shape,...Guess what i traded did i get crooked??

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.

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.

Tell us how it shoots ,it sounds okay .

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.

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

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

..Proline...my stomach is churning,i think im going to
be sick,i agree it was a sweet caliber for whitetail
dont know why i traded...OK im bent over now..waiting
on that swift kick in the asprin...<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>..

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>
