Preferrably in a bolt action. am I stuck with the 7mm magnum?

I have a BLR in 7WSM you want it???
Actually it is a versatile caliber and more bullets available over the 270 if you reload.
I saw the BLR in 7 wsm. Is it limited by the 20" barrel? I wish browning would lighten their trigger up a little too.
If tikka made one in 7mm wsm, it just might seal the deal.

Nope, it is actually the longer 22" barrel.
Works fine for my bush gun. under 7lbs and nice to carry. Bit of recoil due to weight though, but it isn't my target rifle so that is fine.
A 7mm WSM for a brush gun? Do you think there might be other choices?
Abolt II
Xbolt
BAR ShortTrac
BLR
Older Kimber 8400
New Haven Winchester Model 70
Ruger MKII (rarer then hens teeth)
The 7mm WSM is awesome, thank you for not loving the .270 WSM![]()
Got one of these......Had it now going on three years. I might have to shoot it someday.
It probably doesnt shoot at all...you aught to sell it to me...cheap.
Of course, there are many other choices.
Was mine incorrect?
Not incorrect just odd. When I think of a bush gun I think of a 30/30 or a 303 or even a 12ga. Not to mention a 45/70 or a 444 or 450 Marlin etc.
I would think a 7mm wsm ( too many letters) would be better suited to distance shooting.
It's a BLR , not gonna be doing any F-class with that one.
I actually went in to buy a 45-70 Marlin, looked at a 7-08 take down BLR, then the guy says , " you want a good deal on a lever today? , I said let's see it!" 4 shots through it and $300.00 less than retail, I woulda been a fool to say no
I pull trigger, bullet comes out end. Does exactly what I need.
Sorry I forgot you were not the OP. He was looking for a Bolt gun until you came along trying to pawn off your blr as a "bush gun".![]()
I shoot a 270. Only use two or three bullets in it. Why do I need more selection?I have a BLR in 7WSM you want it???

I also have a 7mag. Probably won't shoot more than two or three bullets in that too.
Point is that most shooter don't use the full range of selection that is usually toted as a the advantage of one caliber over another, so the aforementioned advantage is moot.
