RE: 7 MM Rem Mag or 30-06
 

If it was ME,I'd pick the 7mm rem mag. Both will do anything you need but the 7 mag with 140 gr bullets will kick a bit less.

thank you stalkingbear

3000fps
Maybe a little more damage with the 06, but thats because I shoot 165gr serria hpbt out of it. They expand more than the 140gr accubonds out of my 7 mag. I always try to shoot right behind the shoulder, that save a bunch of meat. The ole 06 has been around for over 100 years and has taken about any game that you can think of, its really hard to beat that round.

greg i know you said model 700's for both which are they

RE: 7 MM Rem Mag or 30-06
 

700 BDL both of them. Bought my 06 when I was 16, had my grandpa get it out of the layaway for me. Bought my 7mg when I was 21. I'm 44 now. Had them both a long time. I had my 7mag glass bedded several years ago. It improved the accuracy down to 1/2 groups at a 100 yards. It shot just under an inch before I had the bedding done. My 06 has always been a shooter, I have two targets that I kept, five shot groups and a quarter will cover the holes. I dont think anyone could ask for any more.

nice greg i'm looking at the CDL-SF or the Sendero SF II

RE: 7 MM Rem Mag or 30-06
 

how does the Remington X Mark trigger compare to the Browning feather trigger

RE: 7 MM Rem Mag or 30-06
 

Recoil will be better with the 270 I believe. Although I never recommend any of the short mag rounds. 270 win will be cheaper to shoot than the 270 wsm. You can't go wrong with this round for deer hunting and you can use it for anything from praire dogs to moose. Tons of options in ammo. If you have your heart set on one of the larger rounds go with the 30-06. Just as many options in ammo and cheaper to shoot. I just don't see the need to spend more money on a mag. Put the money that you will save into good optics.

RE: 7 MM Rem Mag or 30-06
 

does anyone know the going price on like the CDL-SF or the Browning X bolt

RE: 7 MM Rem Mag or 30-06
 

How much meat damage is totally dependant on what load your useing in each gun. Tougher bullets = less meat damage, softer bullets = more meat damage.
