REMINGTON 700 7mm mag

Looking to buy prefer stainless

I want one too!

Are you looking to buy or build? I know Dan Lilja personally, and can get a good price on barrels. If you have the action and trigger, we can build one for about $1800 not including scope. I can have the action so smooth that it will feed with the weight of the bolt, and extract shells with the weight of the bolt. Cody's 270 and my 7mm are both custom from Dan's shop up in Plains Montana.
I have not looked at Rem off the shelf for a while, but if you find a style you like, you can order the rifle, with the barrel blank. (not bored or rifled) and Dan can bore it and cut the rifling. All depends what you want out of it.
Then there is stock choices. Wood, synthetic, etc. I have a guy that does custom wood milling. It would be fun to go and get a nice hunk of black walnut and make a stock.

I have. Remington 6mm new in the box still that is at least 40+ years old.  Need to assemble & scope it one if these days.  Thoughts on this gun, Rich?

6mm is a very versatile round. Similar to the 243 Winchester. It is sufficient for anything in California up to and including elk. It is on the light side for elk and boar, but will get the job done. Bullet placement is key, and with that round, recoil is minimal. ONe of the biggest problems guys make, is shooting too much gun. Belted magnums are not for everyone. They will give you a flinch you will never get rid of.
Cracks me up at the ranges, I will take a guy's rifle, load it for him, hand it to him on safety, and let him fire at a target. He then gives me the gun back, and I load one round in the chamber and repeat. Eventually, I hand him the gun with no round in the chamber. When he pulls the trigger I watch to see if he flinches. 8/10 people flinch. Getting rid of a flinch takes hours, days on the range with a pellet rifle, 22, or repeated dry firing. Once you develop a flinch, you are screwed. Most people flinch from the report of the shot (bang and pressure) others flinch from the recoil. I flinch from both. I shoot my pellet gun over and over focusing on trigger pull and burning the scope into the target.

But, 6mm is a great round. Is yours an ADL or BDL? Wanna sell it?

Several of my guns have a Lilja bbl. One of them a 3 groove. It really shoots fast and easy to clean. 257Wby, Reloader 22, 100gr copper at a slowed down 4000fps. It shot a 4 shot group at 4300 in .9". I slowed it down to get some life out of the barrel.

I have a Rem 700 BDL in 7mm mag, and I absolutely love it. 

Dropped multiple elk with no problem, including one 6x7 bull at 65 yards.  Never needed a second shot.  I think the cartridge is overpowered for deer, except maybe a really big mule deer of the sort that can't be found in California.  And the trajectory is so flat that it is only better than .308 when you get past 300 yards.  Most of my shots with this have been less than 120 yards, except for one at 350 which double-lunged.  Downside on smaller animals, like CA deer and AZ whitetails, is more damaged meat.

But for some reason, I am just more accurate and confident with this rifle than any other I have owned.  It is wood stocked, blued steel, and maybe has a trigger job.  I bought it used. 

I can't justify spending $1,800 on a gun. I just spent the last 20 years dropping every animal a shot at with my 308 I paid 150 bucks for it now it's 8000 past nogo needs to be rebarreled. I had a shepard scope on it so considering the all-around usefulness of the 7 millimeter I'll send it back to the factory to be recalibrated for the hundred and fifty-four grainn 7 Mag. Show me to go to Cabelas get one off the shelf so I can find somebody with a good used one.
On that note if somebody wants Mauser action worn out 308 Barrel I've got one to get rid of

Shepherd scopes rock!  I think I paid $500 used for my 700, including a 50mm 8x Leupold VXIII that I traded for my first Shepherd.
