The 7mm Rem Mag cartridge is a flat-shooting powerhouse, capable of taking down elk, moose, and large deer at extended ranges—think crossing a Missouri soybean field or a Western canyon. The stainless steel construction isn’t just for looks; it’s for the hunter who sets up in a pre-dawn drizzle or endures a week in a wet elk camp. The synthetic stock shrugs off bumps and scrapes during transport in an ATV or truck cab. Here’s the thing—this package is drop-in ready. You take possession, confirm zero at the range, and you are hunt-capable. No gunsmithing required to get started, which is a major advantage for new shooters or anyone wanting a no-fuss setup. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who This Rifle Is For
This package is built for the practical hunter. It’s for the Missouri whitetail hunter pursuing a trophy buck in the Ozark backcountry, where a 300-yard shot might present itself. It’s equally suited for Western hunters planning a trip for elk or mule deer, where the 7mm Rem Mag’s energy and the rifle’s durability are critical assets. It’s also an excellent choice for a first-time big-game hunter who needs a reliable, accurate, and complete system without navigating the complexities of separate optic purchases and mounting.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Outstanding out-of-the-box value with a quality Nikon scope included. The AccuTrigger is a standout feature for accuracy. Stainless/synthetic build offers maximum durability for harsh environments. The package is truly hunt-ready, saving time and money.
Cons: The 7mm Rem Mag has significant recoil, which may be intimidating for some shooters. The synthetic stock, while tough, may not offer the aesthetic appeal of a wood stock. As a longer-range cartridge, ammunition cost is higher than common calibers like .308 Winchester.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and sighted in?
A: Yes. The Nikon 3-9x40mm scope is mounted and bore-sighted at the factory. This means it should be on paper at 100 yards, but the shooter must complete the final zeroing process at the range for precise accuracy.
Q: What is the magazine capacity?
A: The rifle uses a detachable box magazine with a capacity of 3 rounds, plus one in the chamber for a total of 4 rounds. This is standard for many magnum-caliber hunting rifles to comply with various state regulations.
Q: Is this a good rifle for a beginner?
A: It is an excellent package in terms of simplicity and value. However, the 7mm Rem Mag’s substantial recoil can be challenging. A new shooter should invest in proper instruction and practice, potentially starting with lighter-recoiling calibers before stepping up to this capable magnum round.
When it comes to securing a reliable, long-range hunting tool that requires minimal setup, the Savage 116 Trophy Hunter XP Package delivers. It puts a proven, weather-resistant rifle and a clear, trusted optic in your hands as a single, coherent system. See the full details and availability on our product page.
