[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 449592, member: 8"] Personally I would go with the 7STW for just a little more whomp at the down range end for elk. I would have a brake and cap made and let hm decide on shooting a brake. He may like it after he sees some elk on the far ridge at 900 yards that cannot be gotten to in the remaining amount of day light. Then he may come around to long range shooting and begin to appreciate it. Stock is a lot of personal preference. I am about done with synthetic stocks. They are stable but just don't really make me feel good like wood does. A lot depends upon how good of shape he is in and what methods he uses to hunt. Most times I just walk a mile or so and sit down and glass for hours and then move again so weight is not a big problem for me. Altitude sickness which I sometimes get when going up to 9 or 10K from sea level is a real drag on you. Takes a few days for it to go away. While you have it you are just short on enthusiasms to shoulder a 40 pound pack and a 20 pound rifle and head out. [/QUOTE]
