[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 821260, member: 12995"] It is not my main club, I have a few other options in the bag...But, as far as long range hunting, yes it is my 1st choice. I have had it for 11 years, and taken numerous deer at long range. Sorry, but we don't have any elk or caribou or moose down here, so I can't verify from personal experience on how it would do on elk @ 1000 yards, but I am pretty sure with a heavy pill like a 180 VLD or 190 Matrix you should be fine. I am going off of the many articles I've read over the years, and can believe them because of the STW's awsome ballistics and all these years of shooting it, I am still being amazed every time I turn around. The .300 RUM is a good option, the 7RUM is also a good option. The .338 Lapua, of course is the top dog and will certaiy get fhe job done. I was just saying that my opinion is that the big 7's will also get the job done efficiently and humanely, even though they aren't the newest biggest baddest out there they are still a very viable option.
