[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 493358, member: 11717"] Congrats on your draw. If I had the choice between a 7RM and 300 WM for elk hunting I would pick the 300. The 300 will plain and simple be able to do more damage with a larger cal bullet. If you want to be hunting at extended ranges you should be handloading which should give you more flexibility in choosing powder and bullet for optimal LR shooting. You can't really just set an arbitrary distance limitation like 600 or 800, etc. The performance of your load will determine it's effective range and I use the minimum expanding velocity for the bullet to determine that. For elk, I would pad that velocity a little. For a scope, you might look at the Vortex PST's. Good hunting, -Mark [/QUOTE]
