I think the Rem 770 is a cheaper ( entry level ) version of a Rem 700. I would go Rem 700 SPS and start from there.

Remenington magunum 300. best gun there is. 250 yard shot on a bull dropped dead

The AR and AK are considered evil up here in Canuckistan. AR is approved range only and the AK is prohibited unless you were lucky enough to have one before the ban. You guys to the south are pretty lucky in that regard, don't let Obsama take them away.
I'd get the AR and a rifle, everyone should have at least one AR.

7MM is a little light on the larger elk etc. I've always been a fan of the .300 Weatherby, it can be loaded to suite almost any situaton.

Check out the sako A7. I got one in a 300 win mag and I love. Just another option for ya. I traded in my remington Model 700 and bought this

You really only need a muzzle brake if you miss....:d Makes the second shot a bit easier.

Just got one of these and a tikka in the 270s! Great gun with one of the smoothest actions! The boyfriend has a 300winmag as well that I usually use but wont b anymore. Probably gunna sell it! Absolutely love the gun but just way too heavy to carry around deer hunting in the bush!

i fyou are wanting to stay under 400 you dont have a large choice. the 7mm to the 300 isn't really that much difference is distancability is it? i would stay with your 7 mm and save your pennies to get one you really want. and besides that where did you get your bull tag for. will you even be able to see over the 300 yrd mark. i would be more than confident with my 7mm up to 350 with large grained bullet take it up to a 190 or 200 grainer and you would be fine imo. i used to use a buddies 300 win mag awesome gun but you never neededthe distance from it as you couldn't see that far away to shoot anyways.

Get the assault rifle. If you look up trajectory charts 7mm shoots pretty flat you aint gonna gain much except anouther hunting gun and a big bill.

or Tikka T3 is good bang for the buck ( I know - bad choice of words )

I should have said out to 300 yards your not going to improve very much over a 7mm.

As far as brands go check out gunwerks (if you are rich and wanna shoot at $hit you can't even see lol0. I can tell you Sako and Weatherby are very accurate solid rifles.

BTW stainless steel looks cool but trying carrying it for 10 clicks then tell me how you like it. Just sayin.

 

[IWantATurbo]

the 7mm i have is 9 pounds so im kinda used to carrying that much weight!!!

I don't see anything over 175 grain for a 7mag in any of my load tables. A 7mag will make around 2933 fps with a 160 grain bullet, a 300WM will make over 3400fps with a 165 grain, just to compare apples to apples with bullet weight.

I've never had to shoot at anything over a few hundred yards besides paper so the extra range doesn't mean anything to me, I'm a lousy shot.

just bought a browning x bolt its smooth and handles very nice cal 30-06

sorry i thought you could go bigger with the 7mm. not a loader just a shooter. wow that sounds bad. i didn't realize the 300 was that much faster either.
