[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 674247, member: 505"] I agree the 7mm STW is the best option. It is about as big as you can go in 7mm and retain good barrel life. There gets to be a point of diminishing returns. I have built and shot both quite a bit on my range and there is not a lot of difference. You will see on average about 100 fps. For that your barrel life will be cut in half. If it is just a hunting rifle with limited use that could last you many years. But if you target shoot a good bit the 7mm RUM will not last very long. I Have six 7mm STW's and two 7mm RUM's and know both pretty well. I have a 7mm RUM 31" heavy barrel Pac-Nor that shoots amazing with heavy, high BC bullets but I limit the use of it for long shots at deer and antelope. The first one I did lost accuracy to throat errosion in 450 rounds however it was a range queen I had available for guys to test on the range back in the late 90's and it may have been abused with to many rapid shots.
