[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 171058, member: 4885"] I just went through the same process you are going through, 1000yd elk knockdown power was the fly in the ointment for me. I really liked the 7mm Allen Magnum and almost went that way. I decided to go with more power and went with the 338AM. This meant a couple more pounds to carry, but a whole lot more downrange pop! If I had went with the 7mm AM, I would have had it built specifically for the 200gr wildcat bullet. If/when I have a 7mm AM built, it will be a little brother to my 338AM Here is what I would have built in a 7mm AM- McMillan A5 (adjustable cheek piece, flush mount swivels on left side) Jewel trigger BAT action with fluted bolt 20MOA rail Nightforce ultralight rings Nightforce 3.5x15x50 NXS scope Lilja barrel 30" fluted Slab muzzle brake Thats what I will have built when I get my 7mm AM, I'll have it built to 12lbs or so. I'd have Kirby put it together for me as well. There are a couple pics of my 338AM on this topic [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f22/new-arrival-almost-338am-4days-counting-24818/index2.html[/url] AJ [/QUOTE]
