[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 808706, member: 11717"] The idea of re-barreling the 7mm is a valid one. I'm am guessing your current barrel will be gone soon. I shot one out in little over a 1000 rounds. You really can't see what a bore is like without a bore scope. That said, the 30-06 barrel will last 2-3 times longer than a 7mm RM. At 600 m, the Ibex will not know the difference between a 160 7mm bullet and a 180 30-06 bullet. If you are more comfortable in staying with the 7mm do that. If you want longer barrel life get a 30-06. I'm assuming you don't reload. If not, 30-06 ammo is probably going to be easier to find and with a better selection. [/QUOTE]
