Lyin' contest.
But, the Rem. Model 7 has never (as far as I know, and others should back me up on this) been produced in .270 Win. or ANY OTHER long action cartridge.
In fact, I don't think that there even IS a cartridge called .404 Gibbs. There is a .404 Jeffrey, but .404 Gibbs???

The one great limitation to the ingenuity of wildcatters has been the limited availability of workable cartridge cases. In recent times, though, the influx of plumper but once-hard-to-find brass, such as the .404 Gibbs and .416 Rigby, has wildcatters downright giddy. Not only do these pudgy cases offer a higher ratio of propellant capacity to length, but they are also free of the often troublesome belt of the traditional H&H Mag. case. (Contrary to widespread misinformation, the belt does not increase strength; it is only for headspacing.)
I hate to call b.s. on anyone. But, the Rem. Model 7 has never (as far as I know, and others should back me up on this) been produced in .270 Win. or ANY OTHER long action cartridge. It is a, short action only model.
I guess when you pay 5 or 6 figures for a rifle it's easy to forget who made it...I like how on mundane guns, he knows the brands, but on the super expensive exotic double rifles, where one would be proud and make sure to go out of their way to describe the make in detail, all he lists is a *caliber*, as if that were a rifle description.
