    Default Thinking about a rifle change...

    I've been shooting a Rem Model 7 in 7mm-08 for probably 12+ years with fine success with deer hunting.

    I hadn't really thought much about changing other than the accuracy of this stainless 20" barrel isn't quite what I'd like it to be to be able to comfortably stretch out a shot to over 300 yds. My primary stand gives me a clear shot out to 500 yds, but I would never take it unless I was positive my rifle and the conditions would put the bullet in the X ring.

    I just came across this option...

    While I'm not really interested in jumping on the 6.5 Creedmoor bandwagon, it's basically on par with the 7-08 so it's probably what I'd choose. I also think these Mausers should be more accurate than the M7 is noted for, but I guess that would remain to be seen.

    Talk me out of it!

    FLS... if you read this post, check your PM's! I sent you one awhile back.
