[QUOTE="dogz, post: 1861809, member: 5429"] Good question, the fella said 90% of his game will be deer. Most shots sub 800. For me, I won't tote a gun that's over 9 lbs all ready to roll (sling, rounds, glass, bipod) and I absolutely despise brakes! I've worn thru several barrels shooting off the ground shooting chucks with big 7's, 300's and 340's. I like to shoot a lot, and I want to feel comfy shooting from any position. As much as I like the 300 RUM, when it's set up the way I would do so then I have no interest in it. For me I can do all I want as far as I want with my 7 Mashburn Super (the 28 Noz that was conceived in the 50's). We're talking deer here, we use our 22/250 for most all the small big game (lope/deer) that we take. If we can consistently take them out with this gun to 500 then I have Zero issues going 2x as far with a Big 7. But, that's just my way and my style. If I had 100 guys shoot a Big 7 set up the way I do for 100 rounds off the ground on an afternoon for chucks and then do the same with the RUM with the same set up how many guys do you think will do as well with the RUM......? This is shooting off the ground, field conditions, no benches, no brakes, just come as you may just like any other hunting. Hike, spot, hit the turf and shoot in a very short time. I would bet on the Big 7 guys cleaning up all the time. Again, this is just my way it doesn't need to fit others ways:) [/QUOTE]
