I sure Hate the 7mm Magnum

My storefront is the gun show.  I must say I really enjoy gun shows.  I meet a lot of interesting people who have a lot of interesting things to say.  Over the years I have come to know a lot of the other vendors.. some by name, some by nickname.  I call them my gun show family.

But gun shows have a downside.  Hunters who own guns in 7mm.

“What do you need that for? “ they will say gesturing to any non-bolt action rifle.  “All I need is my seven millimeter Remington magnum.”  I hear that line (or a derivative of) spoken at nearly every single gun show I have ever attended (with the exception of Grand Prairie in 2014).

No one talks that way about their 30-06 or their .308 or their .243.  There is no other cartridge that makes its user so ignorant, and myopic as the 7mm.

I don’t know what it is.  Why do these people even bother to go to gun shows if all they want to see is row upon row of bolt guns in 7mm?
