Drew, I have a browning A-Bolt in 7mm rem Mag, I have killed plenty of game with it, deer and elk. The only prob I have had is in getting good blood trails. One case in point was a 5 X5 blacktail shot at long range, approx 250 yds, put two rounds in the motor, had a foot of fresh snow and could not find blood or hair, found the deer about 100yds away. First blood showed about twenty ft from the deer where it first hit the ground. Both bullets were just under the hide on the far side. Federal Nosler Partion 160 grain factory ammo. Maybe handloads a little hotter would perform better. I've been told that the 30 caliber bullets make a better blood trail. The browning A-Bolt is very accurate and I would buy another if needed. I have a leopold 3 X 9 scope on the gun. If I was buying new today, it would be either 300 mag or 338.
