300 win mag or 7mm rem mag

T3's in general are schit. I had to sight in a T3 7RM for a friend this year. I shot 10 rounds of Federal Vital Shok 160 TSX and I was sore...complete and utter schit. With a limbsaver I'm sure it helps, but regardless I wouldn't take the time out of my day to grab one to throw on the dirt so my wiener dog could piss on it.

Praise the lord and pass the Sako's (or Model 700's) ;)

Not sure exactly what I'm saying, just looking for an opening to bring up that little ".338 can't beat a 7/08 at long range bet for a stack of 100s " that never happened.:p

Well, it IS a 7mm-08 ;).

Thought we were gonna shot at the $100.00 bills!!!

I better shush though, cause now I own something with magnum in the name.:eek:

Sounds like you want to have a shoot for pink slips?? I really think there is no need for that language.

I'll race my Montana .270 against an equally chambered t3 any day. And 10 years down the road after I've replaced the stock on that junky tikka of yours 3-4 times, my Kimbers stock will still be running strong. Hell if you have a .338 T3 of some sorts I'll go head to head with my Grey Wolf .338F.

The point I'm trying to make is, people seem to think T3's are some magically accurate, wonder gun. And they're not. They're as accurate as the rest. I've shot T3's in .223, .22-250, .270, 7RM, .300 WSM, and .30-06 and not a single one shot any better or worse than any of the Model 700's, 70's, 77's, 7's, Sako's etc that I've sat behind and shot. And all the lTter rifles mentioned weren't covered in plastic or aluminum.
 
why would I have to replace my stock 3-4 times? I usually use my guns to shoot, not as a 2x4..If i were closer I would gladly take your kimber off your hands with my Varmint 6.5 Swede..

Sorry, no problems, little grumpy this morning I guess. I just don't like to see any rifle getting a bad rep everyone has a right to there opinion.

Cheers..

7/08 is OK, I got one for my 12 year old daughter.

Shooting at the bills works, but if memory serves, your original contention was that a .338 wasn't a good hunting caliber because nobody could hit anything with one at longer ranges. A few 1/2 mile shots should settle that.:p
 
Oh, I'll probably loose my shirt for sure unless I learn how too shoot before the event!!!Dose surrounding the $100.00 bill with bullet holes count?;)

And here I am tryin to get closer to game every hunting season.Guess I better dust off the iron put down the bow and get practicing.

Just to kinda stay on topic, still like the idea of the 7mm, however both 7mm and 300 eat more powder than I could ever afford!
 
Yeah, it's a very strong, polymer stock, dipped at Cobra imaging. It also consitently shoots less than .5 moa with every bullet I have tried. I am going to be selling all my Tikkas though, no challenge. It is time for a change..

When I add up the powder costs for the 7-08, 7 Rem and .300 Win I find that the Rem mag costs .05 more per cartridge, and the .300 costs 10-12 cents more per shot. I've been broke before, but never so broke that a nickel or a dime per shot was going to be a deal breaker.
 
I'd like to attend this $100 bill long range shoot with an inaccurate Ruger, and it's a too-powerful-to-be-accurate-.375 H&H on top of being a Ruger. I'd shoot lowish BC hunting bullets. You hit the other guy's bill, you own it I presume?

I'm serious, I'd really like to go against a 0.5 and better MOA every group every bullet Tikka in such a competition and post a thread here with the results. Money where your mouth is shooting, and will be neat to see if the Tikka can truly shame a lowly completely stock Ruger in an ancient chambering. Can't think of a better head to head in the hunting and sporting arms world. 500 yards say, alternating shots between shooters at the other guy's bill(s)? I won't shoot against Dogleg and his .338 :D (well, maybe one bill) but I'd be very pleased to have a crack at a Tikka.
 
Either a 7MRM or a 300 WM are suitable for large game. Starting at Whitetail and moving up from there. Having used a 300 WSM and a 300 WM I favour the 300 WSM. Slightly shorter rig then most 300WMs. And the 300 WSM has slightly less recoil then the 300WM. And it does the job out to long distances in a similar fashion.
Now the 7MRM again is usually a longer rifle and it does as much as a 300WM with less recoil, but not so much less in killing potential or recoil that I've would choose the 7MRM over the 300WM.
If I had a choice again (and someday I may have the choice again) I would go with a 7mmWSM. Once again. Similar ballistics to the 7MRM and a shorter rifle too. Getting enough ammo is important not matter what particular caliber one shots. And my suggestion is that a shorter overall length of rifle in any caliber is easier to move around in a hurry when one needs to raise it quick to get the shot off. And if one does a fair bit of still hunting it means a tad less fatigue too. And with the consideration of still hunting, and the possibility of having to raise and swing the rifle quickly... I would go with the WSM. I've used all of them and share these comments based on the type of hunting I do most often.
