While I cant agree or disagree on the 7mm Mag, or the Tikka, I can say that I've never been a huge fan of the 7mm mag by itself. No reason really, just thought there were better calibers with less powder. I may look into the 7mag and thanks for the info. As far as factory rifles go, and I'm sure the Tikka is an all out shooter, I don't think I could get myself to shoot anything other than a Savage now days. Again, I may just look into the Tikka in a 7mag. What does your scoped rifle weigh?
Thanks
Man, I don't think I could bring myself to own a Savage if it was given to me, but to each his own.
My Tikka 7 Rem weighs 7 1/4 lbs scoped with a sling and 3 rounds. 7mm 160s-168s are where it's at for a lightweight hunting rig that needs to deliver the mail. A 264 WM in a Tikka would work well too.
