Thread: Insight / Discussion RE magnum calibres for mountain rifle

Howdy man, i literally just did the opposite to You.

i currently use a kimber montana in 7mm08 as my mtn rifle............. out to say 400m max, prefer under 350m on Sambar game...
i used a 270 in NZ (an my younger days) and loved how Flat it was, hits hard enough for 400m with an Accubond etc.....

I did however just purchase a Rem 700 26 inch 7mm rem mag an a dial scope, for particularly over 300meters and touching 500m on a 'perfect' day down the track......... lots of paper punching before then i will admit.

if i were sensible fella, i would of bought a kimber montana 270 winchester............ they are literally a magnum without the label... not the wsm just the win.

i couldnt justify a 270 with the 708 and a 30-06, but truth is i shouldnt of justified a 7rem mag with a 30-06 which i shoulda altered to shoot longer an put a new scope on it .. but that would not have been as frusterating or enjoyable at the same time now
