I always recommend Savage to everybody that asks me about rifles. There is a reason so many competitive shooters shoot savage rifles. They are considered by many to be the most accurate rifle you can buy. 7mm Rem Mag will do it all and do it all good. Thats why I always suggest that caliber to anybody that asks. So in other words find a Savage 7mm Rem Mag and go kill anything you want in north america.

Stick with the 700 remington , go with either the 300 WM or the 7mm Mag. you can do almost anything with these and they will be a little
better than a 270 or 7-08. if you think of doing Elk at all .
Try WalMart , if you have one , or basspro or Cabelas , but the best is a good used one on line at Gun Broker or Guns America. Alot less money.

Sorry, but most competitive shooters AND custom rifles are built off the Remington 700 action.

I am looking into buying a rifle. An friend of mine is a fan of the Remington 700, 7 mm. He has been hunting for about 20 years. My question is. What is the difference when talking about cartridges and chambers when it applies to 7mm magnum, .243 Winchester, 30-06, .270 Winchester, etc.....This won't be my last gun I will purchase. I just started hunting this year and I am hooked. I plan on broading my horizons in the years to come (elk and other big game). Right not I am in TN hunting white tail. Being in the military for 17 years I have experience with rifles .308 (bolt and semi-automatic) and 300 WINMAG. I just have got down into the weeds on ballistics but more on tactics. Any input?

I'm not a big Remington fan .... but that is your decision to make. Sorta like Ford - Chevy - Dodge.
Anyway, if you're looking for a DEER rifle, get one of the medium cartridges - 25-06 - 7mm-08 - 308 - 270. They are proven killers on deer for decades.
If you wantONE gun to kill everything from mice to moose then get the 7mm magnum. Personally I think it's far more gun than you need for deer, and that's what you'll probably hunt 90% of the time anyway.
Get the deer rifle, practice with it, shoot deer with it, and when you get the chance to go on that elk / moose hunt. Buy an elk / moose rifle.

Having been stationed around the country and being from the "NORTHLAND" I have personally found 30-06 bullets available almost anywhere, in gas stations, bakeries, gift shops, etc.during gun deer hunting season. So, if you run out because you either 1) shot a lot of deer2) you hit a lot of brush missing deer 3) forgot to resight in you rifle cause your an idiot; you can reload almost any where.
