    Sub MOA stock 7mag under $800 Audad/Devils River

    Headed back to Devils River on the TPWD draw hunt with my brother. I was lucky enough to take a young ram when I was drawn the first time. Been told we’re pretty lucky for getting drawn twice in 10 years. Missed a ram of a Lifetime on that last hunt and it’s stuck with me. I was using a borrowed 7mm rem mag and absolutely loved that rifle. Rem 700. Right now I’m looking at getting a Bergara B-14 Hunter. Shots will likely be under 300 yds. I don’t reload, and am pretty set on the caliber. Hunt is in January. I know the savage rifles are accurate, but they’ve always seemed cheap to me. I have a Weatherby Vanguard S2 308 that I like, and they seem good quality. I have an older browning Abolt Varmint Stalker in 22-250 that is an absolute tack driver. My dad has savage 6.5 Creedmoor that he bought from wal-mart for $299 that will clover leaf, so I know accurate rifles can be had with out spending a fortune and going custom. Looking for opinions on makes and models other then the Bergara. I’ve always wanted a 7 mag so pretty set on caliber. Thanks in advance. Have hears about some feed issues and primer cratering on the Bergaras. Don’t know if this is just rare isolated stuff; I don’t want to have to worry about that kind of thing.

    Check out Bergara on TSS Warehouse. I don’t have one of their 7mags but I have 4 other of their rifles and they work flawlessly!

      Shots under 300? Just buy some good ammo that your 308 likes and get after it.

        I want to be prepared to take a long shot if the situation arises, and a flatter shooting rifle in those mountains makes a big difference.

          Even out to 500 you aren’t going to notice a difference.

          I’d spend the money on glass, ammo, an a LR class.

          But, it’s your money, not mine.

              I looked at a wood stocked Mossberg Patriot in 7mm mag on the used rack yesterday. It was $350 out the door, wearing the cheap Bushnell package scope.

                I have a b14 ridge. Got it over the hunter because it has a threaded barrel. Barnes blue tips were 1/2 moa at 200 yards so rolled with them. Figured that was minute of anything I could hit at 500. If your not reloading find a shelf ammo it likes and put some good glass on it. Wouldn’t worry about the stock

                  What caliber? I was looking hard at this one as it's really not much heavier than the hunter.

                    If your on somewhat of a budget I'd look at the nicer Savage rifles, not the axis line. Look at the 110 and 116 line. The couple savage rifles I have I would put against any other rifle in my safe and i have a couple $2K+ rifles in there. Also I would check out Tika.

                        This. Savage 10 and 16 lines or even the 12 line. If not just upgrade scope on a rifle you already have.

                          No doubt, Savages as a general rule do seem to flat out shoot. Can't seem to find much info on them in a 7 mag as far as accuracy/range performance.

                            They have that new stock on the Savages that has all that plastic. I think the 16 comes in a stainless with a synthetic stock. Honestly have know Idea whats the difference between the models.
