Remington Model 7 in a .243 has been my deer rifle of choice for the last ten years. I had the trigger turned down to just under 3 pounds and its the most accurate rifle I've ever owned. Tack driver, can't go wrong with it.

dadof3, what kind of velocities are u getting out of that short barrel? just curious, i had been considering a model 7 in 260 remington.

Sorry, never checked.The Federal BT load does 1"to1.5" out of it.Am going to try the Corbon TSX load soon, the Corbon load is shooting .5" out of my 700 CDL SF 260.

I have one in .350 rem mag and love it.

dadof3, have u ever had any problems with loading the 260 in that gun? i was curious if the long 6.5 bullets u are shooting ever were too long for the magazine or anything.

I've used Federal 140 SP, Federal 120 BT, Rem.120 Accu.tip, and Corbon 120 TSX. All factory loads up to this point with no problems.
