which 7mm...?

[Russ]

280AI all the way

Russ...

 

[Rembo]

it's a 280.....just need to stamp it and get it blued......

now, for the short action....I have a 257 Roberts Mountain Rifle barrel here that would work........or a 24" stainless factory 7-08 tube....

 

[dan belisle]

Gentlemen, I have to go with Noel on this one, 7x64 Brenneke...but NOT on a Remington !

You have a barrel threaded for a large ring Mauser, chambered in 7x64 Brenneke, and you are changing it to fit a Remington....are you mad....beg, borrow or steal a suitable large ring Mauser and do the job properly.

As an aside, for a Remington it should be .280 rem only, for the rule of thumb is;
US action...US cartridge.
Euro action...Euro cartridge.
After all, you would not chamber a Ross in a modern short magnum...would you ?

Yes, yes I would. There is no rule that says you must use US cartridges in US rifles and Euro cartridges in Euro rifles or the other way around. I hope you were kidding. - dan

To a point..no.
Let me put it this way, would you chamber a nice commercial Waffen Fabrik Oberndorf into .280 rem, or would you opt to utilise 7x64 Brenneke.
Or as some cretin over here did, chamber/rebarrel a Brno Model 21 to .22-250.
Within reason, some things go together...some don't.

 

[dan belisle]

Depends how bad I wanted a 280. Yes, some guns have history that makes them more suited for certain calibers, but at the end of the day, it's someone else's gun, and if it makes them happy, so be it. - dan

Isn't that against the law?

 

[J Stuart]

Isn't that against the law?

It should be !

Go for the classic ..................7x57 Mauser

 

[triton]

AKA...7mm Mauser...AKA...7x57...it's in the running.....

Hey Rick. Can you build me one in stainless?

Dave.

 

[Rembo]

Hey Rick. Can you build me one in stainless?

Dave.

sure...send me an action...I have an extra blue action here....but why chamber a 7x57 in a long 700?....there's room in the box for a 280....if you want a blued 280 this one will be blued next week.

 

[cccan]

you should have went 284...oh wait..you had one of those

 

[Rembo]

you should have went 284...oh wait..you had one of those

why don't you tell us all about your 284?......you know, the contradictory one you assembled a few years back.....the heavy lightweight...or was it the light heavyweight...?..now there's a 284 to die for...

 

[cccan]

hey now....we made a few mistakes along the way...you don't have to remind me about them

AKA...7mm Mauser...AKA...7x57...it's in the running.....

Gets my vote!

 

[SuperCub]

....but why chamber a 7x57 in a long 700?....there's room in the box for a 280....

Actually, why put a 280 in a 700 when there's room for a 375H&H in there?

I like the extra room I have in my 700 for the shorter 257Roberts. I'd rather have too much room then not enough. Get your 7x57 with a longer throat and add more powder.

that would be like chambereing a 257 Roberts and then adding powder to make it into a 25-06....
