Should I trade 7mm mag for non-magnum cartridge?
last year i bout a browning x bolt stainless 7mm rem mag with a nikon monarch 3-12x42.
I like to shoot my guns alot and being that im still young i cant ever shoot the 7mm as much as I would like because the ammo is fairly expensive. Origionally I I thought I might do an elk or caribou hunt within the next couple years but that plan never fell through. So right now all i hunt is whitetail. I also dont honestly enjoy shooting my rifle because of the recoil. I shoot fine with it but i would like to enjoy shooting with a rifle if i could.
im interested into long range shooting and i would like to get good out to 600 yards but i dont shoot enough to perfect that range yet.
My question is should I trade my 7mm mag for a non magnum cartridge? Can you give me some ideas, i was thinking 25-06, is that a good choice?
I will still probably end up going elk hunting in the future but if worst comes to worst i think i would just buy a different gun with bigger cartridge.
Would i be able to trade a 1 year old 7 mag for a non magnum new x bolt stainless straight up? Or would i have to give cash? And how much?
Should i do a private sell then use the cash to buy a new one?
also i plan on keeping my scope
help and ideas are greatly appreciated
