$82.77. Not the cheapest ever deal, but pretty good for what looks
like a new rifle.

Today, not bad, a while back too much if you had a 03 ffl. If the condition is really
good, just smile and enjoy a piece of your heritage. Lots of Nazi's didn't go home due to
M/N rifles. American arms tend to be sports cars. Russion arms more like tractors. Both
get a job done.

I personally admire American precision rifles. (say, Remington 700).

Well.....the 700 is a good foundation for a precision rifle..but out of
the box..hardly "precision"

Is there a precision rifle, that one could buy under one grand. Not
that I would want to do it...

Any thought on a Mossberg 7mm Rem Mag? What is it capable of?

I think at this moment..If I were to be purchasing an "out of the box"
rifle for accuracy...Id buy one of the current model heavy barreled
Savages. They are VERY accurate for an out of the box rifle. Very
nicely done.

Not knowing WHICH of the various Mossbergs you are discussing..I cant
give you an opinion other than several of them that Ive owned over the
years were "adequate" in accuracy.

Now a well made "accuracy" rifle in 7mm mag..they can be exceptionally
accurate. Many of the 1000 yrd matches over the years have been won with
the 7mm Mag with proper handloads.

Ive a medium weight 700 Remington thats been pillar bedded, etc etc
etc..that will shoot 2" groups at 400 yrds, 6" groups at 800 and 10"
groups at 1000 yrds...for about 5 shots..and then they start to open up
a bit. Barrel has not been cryo'd and is of so so quality and the
trigger is stock with a shrug..."fair" 12x scope.

If I were to mod out this rifle for long range shooting..it would get a
much better barrel, decent glass and an aftermarket trigger..and a good
stock.

Now 7 mag is not one of my favorite cartridges for long range.
Shrug..but they are suitable in most cases.

300 Win Mag, 338 Lapua, 416 Taylor etc etc....the list of GOOD long
range cartridges is pretty long.


Gunner, who lives in the desert and can easily shoot many thousands of
yrds...hundreds of thousands of yards.....
