[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 918539, member: 20646"] Brad, your post really gets at an internal question that's been sorta plaguing me... I, 1st and foremost, really like elk hunting (as I'm also very, very new to it as well!) and then want to try antelope hunting, then possibly mulies (I come from a history of whitetail hunting). I'm confident my humble 700 ADL in 7RM will manage all these duties with aplomb. I'm also considering building a new, fully custom 7mm-300WinMag (or similar) - something that I can "hot-rod". Whereas my 700 ADL I'm wanting to keep original as it was my HS graduation present back in '83. I have something like 350 new WW 300 Win brass cases to get the handloading going for the 7mm-300WinMag (or similar) and it would become my new "go-to" hunting stick. However, for further (say from ~800-900yds on out to my skill level max., which is currently atrophied), I'd want to build a bigger 338. (338 Raptor or thereabouts). The biggest question only I can answer is will I ever really need to shoot that far to justify an additional investment beyond the 7mm-300WinMag. Your post helps bring some clarity for me.... Thanks for the thought-provoking response.... Back to our regularly scheduled OP :D [/QUOTE]
