    Didn't they use H-S Precision stocks on Custom Shop 7's?

    I've got that caliber. I started Deer hunting with it when I was 13 years old. (OMG a kid with a gun)

    School teachers liked it and I hunted with some of my teachers.

    It was and still is my short range brush gun.

    It's a Remington 141 and the old rifle still looks good at about 90% NRA but I had a Weaver K3W scope mounted on it and can still see the iron sights. Weaver and Bausch and Lomb were about the only good scopes available at first. It was my first gun that I learned how to use a scope. My hunting buddies always said that I do not want a scope for running deer or use as a brush gun. After they seen me use the scoped gun they changed their minds fast. I could kill animals that they could not even see in the thick brush and early morning and late evenings at prime time hunting. Lots of dogs running deer back then also.

    Put down several big-uns using 200 grain bullets and its a very accurate gun.

    I can shoot it faster than a auto, killed lots of animals running full out with the 3rd shot.

    (found that it's the best to make the first shot count because they will get some gone faster)

    When shooting at 100 yards I can hear the big 200gr bullet hit the target if a solid background target such as a deer or tree.

    I've got an old Remington 600 in .35 Rem.

    That is cool. You can reload pointy bullets in it and really make it shine. It would be a nice light handy rifle for stalking hogs or chasing hogs with a few dogs.

    This one is shooting 3/4" three shot groups at 100 yds. I have loading data and targets.

    Nice.


    I wouldn't hesitate to use that on some African Plains game or just about anything in America.


    I think you can load 38 spl/357 mag bullets(The projectiles) in that case with a low power load of small game or plinking.

    when I had a Sako roundtop built up for my son, I started him out with 357 bullets in the 358 win. He was so skinny, he had to rent a shadow but he handled those loads just fine.
