My experience with the "7 Mag" has been great. There were a few snafus early on with ammunition, but nothing that I shouldn't have expected in retrospect. I've shot more deer with the 7 mag than probably every other gun I've used combined. Sure, it may be a bit excessive for whitetails. It may be a bit light for big bears. However, with the right bullet, it will take any big game in North America. It's an extremely versatile round, with great energy, trajectory, range, and terminal ballistics.

The best way I've heard it described is this: It hits like a 30-06 and shoots as flat as a 270. That's a great combination.

I'll drink to that!
