[QUOTE="lazylabs, post: 320943, member: 6641"] I was really considering the 7 RUM and decided to go the 7 WSM route. The difference for me was sticking with a packing weight gun and didn't want to brake it. I shoot a 300 RUM in a ruger #1 and it will probably always be my favorite hunting rifle but it's painful with a brake and no hearing protection. I have not shot a gun under 12lbs chambered in 300 RUM without a brake so maybe it's not that bad? I did shoot my 338/378 without a brake once and I know my pain threshold is WAY below that. I guess the point of that was do you want to shoot a brake or not? Do you hunt with hearing protection? Do you shoot well under heavy recoil? I figure if I am setting up for a real long shot I have the time for hearing protection, heavy guns and a break is good. If I am packing a gun through the trees and might get into a fast shooting situation I don't want a break. Sorry for rambling just something to possibly consider. [/QUOTE]
