[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 242912, member: 5219"] I'd say go for the 7 STW. It fits and feeds from more magazines than the 7 RUM. I figure if you are going for shots as long as 800 yds ( a mightly long way) you might want to minimize the wind drift. More velocity with the high BC Berger 168 VLD will help. As an inexpensive experiment I rechambered a Rem 7 mag 26" takeoff to 7 STW and put it on a model 700 that was a 7 Rem Mag with the older 24" barrel. It was already in a Ti stock. Total weight including a 3.5-10 x 40 VX III is 8 lbs. Light enough to carry. Recoil is not bad either. I am getting 3200 with a moly coated 168 VLD. This experiment is now one of my favorite rifles.
