I bought this 7mm Rem Mag on a whim from a friend last July. His daughter was getting married and he needed cash, so I figured why not. I already had one (Tikka) but it's not about need, right?
Here's the text of his ad:
"Up for sale, my "semi-custom", stainless, Howa model 1500 in 7mm Remington Magnum. I customized this to be my "one rifle for anything in Oregon gun". I ditched the Tupperware stock for a Boyd's Micro-Lam. The barrel is free floated and the action is bedded from just in front of the recoil lug to the rear tang. The action locks up smoothly (lapped lugs) and feels (and sounds) solid as a bank vault. The Boyd's factory recoil pad was swapped out for a limbsaver. I then covered the entire stock in a textured epoxy paint. I also installed a Timney trigger which is set at about 2.5 lbs. It also has QD studs. 24" standard contour barrel, 1-9.5" twist."
I wasn't a fan of the scope or mounts so I swapped them out for Talley one-piece lites and a Leupold VX-2 4-12x40 CDS, duplex reticle, made in 2016. This rifle shoots his reloads (Sierra 175 Game Kings) very accurately. I didn't spend much time on load development but 69 gr of Reloader 26 got me 0.824" and 3017 fps at the muzzle. The Limbsaver really tames the recoil. This rifle is truly a one rifle for anything in Oregon.
Rifle and mounts $650
If you want the scope, $1,000
I travel a bit so I can probably meet you from Salem to Medford along the I-5 corridor, or even Bend.
