Features:
Barrel-Free floating, glass bedded at the recoil lug to maintain the proper spacing around the barrel and provide consistent accuracy. Recessed muzzle.
Bolt-60 degree throw. Utilizes a non-rotating bolt sleeve that runs the entire length of the bolt. When unlocked, three guide ribs on the bolt sleeve align with the three locking lugs to allow the bolt to slide smoothly. When locked, these three lugs provide massive bolt strength. The A-Bolt feeds very smoothly because of its unique, patented cartridge depressor. This cartridge depressor stays in position, independent of the bolt rotation, as the bolt slides gently over the cartridges in the magazine. The bolt face is recessed, completely surrounding the cartridge base.
Magazine-Hinged floor plate with detachable box magazine to make it simple and fast to load with a spare loaded magazine.
Recoil Pad-Standard on all models.
Safety-Top-tang, thumb-operated safety can be actuated or released with the thumb without changing from a shooting grip.
Sights- A-Bolt models are supplied without open sights, receiver drilled and tapped for installation of scope mounts
Sling Swivels-Michaels post-type swivel studs, swivels not included.
Trigger-Chrome-plated trigger sear for cleaner, crisper trigger pull. Screw adjustable. Pre-set at approximately 4 pounds.
26" Barrel,7mm Remington Magnum
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 7mm Remington Magnum was introduced in 1962 in the new Remington Model 700 bolt-action. Gunwriters Les Bowman, Warren Page, and others had been clamoring for a fast 7mm, and the Remington's "Big Seven" was the answer. Except the very similar 275 H&H dates to 1912, and the 7mm Weatherby Magnum to 1944. No matter; the 7mm Remington Magnum was a huge success. Viewed as more versatile, it blew the 264 Winchester Magnum off the market and went on to become the world's most popular "magnum" cartridge. Though since surpassed in this role by the 300 Winchester Magnum, the 7mm Remington Magnum remains a world-standard hunting cartridge, adequate for game up to elk and moose, flat-shooting, and able to achieve meaningful velocities with bullets up to 175 grains--but with less recoil than the fast .30-calibers. Most firearms manufacturers chamber to it, and the selection of factory loads is rich and varied.
