[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 263298, member: 11717"] tknc, if you crunch the numbers, it's hard to beat the 7mm RUM. I've shot a 7mm RM for many years and it's a great cartridge, but IMO it's an 800-900 yd hunting rifle. The RUM will get you well past 1K maybe 1300-1400 yds depending on load, elevation etc. If I had a choice between the two, the RUM would get the nod. In fact, I've been considering the 7mm RUM vs the 300 RUM and just recently picked the 300 because this particular rfile is a proven tack driver. Otherwise, I was leaning to the 7mm. If I get another rifle, it will likely be the 7mm RUM. I'm not sure what bad you've read about the 7mm RUM but I cant think of any. Barrels burn out fairly quick, but that's the same for any of the 7mm mags. If you like open country, you will like the West. Good hunting, Mark [/QUOTE]
