[QUOTE="roughneck, post: 278823, member: 16871"] Yobuck, I drive a 3/4 ton....so I can't say much on the trucks... However, I just don't think you need a cannon for any job. The 1000 yard shot would be the cap for any 7mm bullet, and I would go ahead and bypass the 30s and go to a 338. I own a 338 lapua on a cz magnum action. It will shoot accurately to almost a full mile in light winds; however, it's a lot of gun to carry. The 7 RUM is an all-around heavier gun than the 7mm WSM when compared in the same make and model. Heavier action, heavier rifle, heavier bullets... but I'm a big guy and don't mind. On the other hand, the answer to the "which gun" question can always be answered very simply. A guy only needs two rifles.... one at or below .257 and one above .257.... provided that he is very comfortable shooting each of them... Furthermore, this is irrelevant to any discussion because the kind of guys (like me and i will assume you) that can hit an elk at a dime are 100% guaranteed to own more than two rifles... probably closer to 30 or 40 rifles... therefore, we've got more to choose from. I still stand by my decision that if a guy could have one rifle to bust an elk with at 600-1000... better make it a WSM. TEX [/QUOTE]
