So I have been searching for what feels like forever for a Remington 700 bdl mossy oak bottomland rifle. They had 22 inch barrels 24 in magnums and all had iron sights. Had my heart set on one in short action as a hunter/range toy. My plan was to not scope this rifle as i have NO centerfire rifles with iron sights. Well just my luck one popped up but in 7mag. Bummer. Never owned a magnum and never planned to frankly. No use in ny im confident at 400 with my 3006 on deer. An iron sighted 7mm mag seems like a huge waste to me so I considered scoping and trying it out as a longer range gun. What would you do? should I continue my search or scoop up this opportunity? They only made these guns from 92 to 94 not many come up for sale ever. However its not truly what i wanted the rifle for.
I know i could have a gun dipped and all that but after buying a used 700 that probably wont have irons, having it dipped im into a gun more than i can get one of these for as is. That is if i can find another. Im thinking pass...then again might regret it.
