savage 7mm rem mag

My Savage 116 FSS 7mm Rem Mag, First time shooting it. Nice recoil, doesnt kick as hard as the stevens model 200 in 308 win.
I love this rifle. Very accurate. Has a 4x fixed Weaver scope

I hate the 30-06 kick, this is smooth for a big caliber, more of a push, and that was a model 70 with a wood stock.

how bad is the recoil compared to a 20 gauge with slugs or a 30-06

[keefertopher]

@xKingNicKx2455 the recoil is nice compared to the 30-06

how is it for a 15 year old?? i dont like massive recoil

[keefertopher]

@hookincatfish1 the 7mm is one of the fastest flatest shooter out there, the recoil was more of a push than a kick. \ I really liked it. but now I am looking at a 300 win short mag. even faster and flatter. \ if the rifle is heavy enough the recoil isnt that bad.

how far can you get out with that savage?how about groupings are they tight.I have an 1895 c mauser.7mm as well.recoil is not bad at all on the mauser.thxs

[keefertopher]

@bennra26008 I have only shot out to 200 yards grouping was inside of 5 inches

@keefertopher check your source, 7mm has higher bc bullets, unless you shoot 230gr 30cal's which a wsm cant handle, in that case 300wm. just trying to help u out. check berger's page, they have a page with all the bullets and bc's.

What bullet u shooting

[imjustwonderful]

@xKingNicKx2455 i think it depends on the gun. my 7mm rem mag is a winchester 70 and it kicks harder than my remington 870 with 1oz 12 gauge 2 3/4" slugs

@monsterman27 That's damned impressive. MUST be a custom rifle and must have 0.25moa or less at 100 to do 1-1.5" at 300.

@keefertopher I've seen the same model/caliber shoot within 2" at 200 yards though - it's really a matter of the quality of optics and the shooter's skill. Savages are some of the most accurate factory rifles around.

@keefertopher I just bought one and had a brake put on it too. It is one of the best guns I have owned. I have a 6x24 x50 scope and I am NOT afraid of a long at all,lol

[monsterman27]

My 30-06 gets 1-1.5 inch groups at 300 yards with hornafy 180 grain interlock bullets.I reccomend the savage rifles they are just awsome for the money. I put a burris black diamond scope on mine also i reccomend. Burris is one of the better bangs for your buck. Nikon would be my second choice. If you want real high end Zeiss if hard to beat and i think leuphold is overated for the money.

good luck

my 30-06 savage 116 dont kick that bad. Honestly ive never had anything kick as hard as a magnum 12 gauge load. Even some 20 gauge rounds are pretty stout. Ive even shot a 375 H&H and still the shotguns kick harder to me. I would compare the 30-06 similar to a 20 gauge 3 inch load
