[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 232384, member: 11717"] The 7mm RUM is a great cartridge as is the 7mm Dakota and STW. Long shot makes some good points about the 300 RUM, but here's my take. If you are getting a factory rifle and shooting factory ammo then your likely not going to be getting better than MOA accuracy out of it, plus or minus. This will limit your long range shooting to maybe 500 or 600 yds. For economy and performance, I would recommend a 300 WM. The ammo is going to be a lot cheaper than the 300 RUM or WSM, or 7mm RUM or STW. IMO, the 300 RUM is more than you need and will cost more to shoot and there is much mor variety of ammo availble with the 300 WM. If you plan to upgrade and customize your rifle someday, then the 300 RUM or 7mm RUM would be good choices. If you are going to upgrade your rifle and start reloading, then I personally would stay away from the belted mags, such as the 7mm RM and 300 WM. [/QUOTE]
