I won a RMEF Rem 7mm mag at the RMEF dinner. Nice rifle with a camo stock. I wish it had open sights. I already have a 30-06 that I love and shoot very well for elk. My next pruchase was probably going to be a Marlin 45/70 for the dark timber and backup rifle. 7mm and 30-06 being so similar, should I trade it for a 45/70, or just keep it as a backup? I prefer short and light rifles. What do you like for dark timber elk guns other than the Marlin? | ||

That is a fine rifle! 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

If you like your '06 then get a 45-70. If you like the RMEF 7mm then buy a 45-70. You win either way!!!  "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit"--Aristotle (384BC-322BC) | |||

Blue, Castle Rock is an awesome area of Colorado! I use to mule deer hunt just outside of town....took a 211 NT in 2001. Saw some others..that were even bigger. Congrats on winning that rifle | |||

Thanks guys. So does anybody want to trade a 45/70 for a 7mm?  Have any of you tried the scout scope setup on the Marlin? | |||
