[QUOTE="trebark, post: 405348, member: 19172"] You seem to start by asking about one rifle (300rum), then go into the issues with a 7mm. For this, I'll stick to the 300rum.... Stock: Generally speaking, ditch the factory stock and get your hands on a quality aftermarket model (B&C and HS are good choices). Skim-coat bed it and if it does not have an aluminum bedding block in it, pillar bed it. Rings: go with Burris Signature Rings. They come with plastic inserts so that you can cant your scope. Optics: 14x is plenty to shoot as far as you want. Just this year I took a shot at a ground hog at 940 yards with my VX3 4.5-14x40. Had no problem seeing him clearly. Trigger: tune the trigger to ~2 pounds. You should also give some consderation to recrowning the barrel if it still has the factory crown on it. Talk the walk...walk the walk....
