[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1522753, member: 30902"] I would probably stick with the 7RM or .300wm and at least a "magnum contour" or "bull magnum contour" which is a bit lighter than the light varmint contours. I'd rather have the extra weight vs a thin whippy barrel or a gun that's so light it's hard to get steady. The older I get the shakier I get so that becomes more and more of an issue but even for the young and steady field conditions often make it a real challenge especially when shooting from unconventional positions or in the wind and when you're hunting west of the Mississippi wind is almost always a factor. When you get above 5,000' it's a virtual certainty you'll be dealing with considerable wind. Of course there's also the simple fact that the lighter the gun is the more significant the felt recoil is going to be no matter what kind of can or brake is on it. [/QUOTE]
