[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 181510, member: 8843"] your gonna be limiting your velocity potential with the shorter barrel , If you can get 2800fps or so out if a 180gr bullet with that short of a barrel then I'd say it would work fine for elk at 600yds if you pic your shots. That action is a bit shrtter than the Short action Rem 700 so your gonna be limited to what kind of bullets you can feed from the mag with , you can have a bigger mag box installed and that will help some. The heavier barrel will definatly help with holding the gun steady and help with keeping the groups from walking after 3 shots. Check out Manner's stocks , he may be able to get you a stock for the M-7 ,also Lone Wolf makes some nice one and I'm almost positive they inlet for the M-7 , both of these stock are as well built probably better than the McMillan and you won't have to deal with the stupid run around trying to get your stock out of Arizona [/QUOTE]
