  Be aware there are many DIFFERENT 7MM cartridges This rifle will safely shoot the Remington 7MM EXPRESS as well as the remington 280
  It will not shoot the 7MMX57 or the 7mm remington mag or the 7mm Weatherby Mag

  280 Remington and 7mm Express are the same basic cartridge just using a different name over the years. Much like the .244 Remington being renamed the 6mm Remington.

  Thanks Perry. For some reason it sounded right, but all I could think of was the 7MM mag, and knew that wasn't right, and forgot about the express.
