Thinking of complimenting my collection with a 7mm remington magnum..

[NIGHTHAWK]

Get yourself a nice Blaser R8 7RM for that kind of money.

Plus it won't have a muzzle brake.

I've got enough distance shooters for now... (2) 7MM REM MAG's, .300 RUM and a 300 WBY. I don't mind a Muzzle Brake, they come off and suppressors go on or a cap to protect the threads. Several of my rifles are set up this way. Although, only the 450 Dakota, 300 Weatherby, and 300 RUM have brakes on them... Blaser, not sure about them.

It's a leap of faith giving the Blaser R8 a go and it's not for everybody.

However, for those looking to travel and hunt, there isn't a more compact and reliable system available for the same price. Comparing a takedown CRF to the Blaser R8 is very close in price...if the CRF comes with just one barrel. Add another one and expect the price to be above $15K. Plus the Blaser maintains the ability to shoot from .17 caliber all the way to 500J with the same stock.

7RM Pros: Plenty of different factory ammo and bullets & brass for the reloader, flat shooting, long range platform.
Cons: Recoil, other, non belted mags with the same power. May be overkill for close range, small stuff.

Bought my first 7mm Rem Mag in 1963 a second in 1967. Used both for awhile with the first purchase being my primary rifle. Used Nosler partitions from the beginning with IMR 4350 . Groups were almost as good as my 722 222.
Great rifles back then. Perhaps not as cosmetic as the M70 but highly reliable .
Hunted the full spectrum on NA game and except for big bear it did the job. I decided to use a heavier caliber on them.

Another con, depending on twist rate, may not be suitable for using heavy for caliber bullets.
