[QUOTE="dakor, post: 64876, member: 2204"] I would go with a 7mm STW it is by far the best 7mm out there. The 7mm STW will shoot flatter buck the wind better and have more energy at longer range then a 300 win mag with equal bullet weights. As for the 7mm STW being a barrel burner I have 1500 + rounds through mine and a gun smith that says it will go another 1000 easy. If you go with a 28 inch barrel you should be able to drive 160 grain bullets over 3300 fps easily. As for recoil my Sendero weighs 11lbs and I would say it kicks like a 8lbs 270 or 30/06. If you are really want a bad *** long ranger don't waste your time with the 280 imp or 7mm WSM or 7mm Mag just get the STW and forget about the Ultra way to much powder for the 150fps you gain. You might want to talk to Richard Graves from wildcat bullets he is comming out with a 7mm 180 grain ULD and 200 grain ULD bullet that are really going to push a 7mm in the big boy league. The 180 grain is going to have a bc over .800 and the 200 grain is going to have a bc of over 1.0. That will compete with the big 338's out to a mile. Also the nice thing about Richard is he is a 7mm fan and has a few big 7mm's and he can tell you first hand how his bullets shoot. Richard is making me a 175 grain ULD thick Jacket bullet for my STW and the bc is going to be over the .700 mark. I should be getting them in the next couple of weeks and I will post the results.
