I’ve shot both extensively. The Rem Mag allows for longer shooting sessions due to its manageable recoil, which is great for practice before the hunting season.
Comfort matters! It can affect your accuracy more than you’d think. If you’re not comfortable shooting, you’ll struggle to dial in your shots.
I agree, practice is key! Does anyone have tips for mitigating recoil when using the Weatherby?

Recoil pads and proper stance can really help with the Weatherby. Just gotta know your setup and give it time to get used to it.
Great tips! Those small adjustments can make a world of difference.
Both are excellent for hunting, but I wonder if reevaluating your shooting technique could lessen recoil felt regardless of the caliber. Has anyone changed their approach?

It’s all about balance! But I think using the Weatherby for extended sessions sounds like a wild idea unless you’re committed to working with that kick!
Haha, true! If you enjoy the thrill of the Weatherby, just embrace those few extra pounds at the end of the day.

The 7mm Rem Mag is widely available and has a variety of ammo options at different price points. It’s usually cheaper and easier to find than the Weatherby, which can be a key factor for hunters like us.
That’s a great point! The 7mm Weatherby can be pricey both for factory loads and even for reloading components. Finding consistent brass and bullets can be tough too.
From what I’ve seen, the price of 7mm Weatherby ammo is quite steep compared to the Rem Mag. It’s definitely worth considering if you plan to shoot a lot.
Exactly! And since reloading can be a lifesaver, I’d suggest looking into both cartridges before committing. You might find the Rem Mag parts easier to source.
If you’re considering reloading, the 7mm Rem Mag has a plethora of options. The Weatherby’s brass is rarer which can limit your choices.

That’s true, but the performance of the Weatherby is hard to beat! Worth the hassle if you can find the components.
I can’t help but lean toward the Rem Mag based on availability. I’ve never had issues finding good ammo at reasonable prices.
There’s also a lively discussion about the power difference. The Weatherby packs a punch, but for most game, the Rem Mag does just fine!
And let’s be honest, sometimes more punch means more kick! Just something to ponder when choosing your cartridge.
I’m personally leaning toward the Rem Mag for ease of use. Plus, I’ve heard the recoil is more manageable!
Thinking about the cost of reloading too. The Rem Mag is typically cheaper for components, which can add up during a long season.

That’s a fair point! Sometimes you might just have to go with what fits your budget and shooting style.
