Hey guys, I'm new to the whole long range shooting thing. A little while ago I purchased a Remington 700 in 7mm mag from my cousin. It was his elk rifle and after doing some online research, it looks to be made in '78. I haven't gotten the chance to shoot it yet, but I would love to get use it for both hunting and precision shooting. My biggest question is would this be a good rifle to get into the long range game with or should I start with something else? I have read pretty extensively on the 7mm mag and know that it has good ballistics, I am just curious as far as the platform and the recoil go for someone who only has experience shooting those old Mosin Nagants as far as bolt guns go.
