[QUOTE="Coyote Hunter, post: 33647, member: 608"] I am not sure what you are meaning when you say "long range" hunting, what distance are you thinking about? The 7 mag is good, for long range, if you are using a good bullet with Low Drag. I have never shot mine over 350 yrds since I bought it back in 1977. But maybe some one else hear can give you a better report than I can. Since I put a new barrel on the action and a muzzle brake....it is now my favorite shooter of the lot. -------------- Zod One more thing. Mine is also a 700 BDL 24" facory barrel. Had the barrel "frozen" and the throat lenghten 90 thousands, this so I could shoot the Barnes "x" 150gr. I have not loaded to "max" yet, but right now I am getting 3100 fps w/the 150 moly coat bullet.....have gotten a "one" hole group for 3 shots a couple of times now.
