[QUOTE="shortpants, post: 664954, member: 30564"] I voted against the Rum and STW for the reasons you just mentioned. A one gun man at a 1000yds means your going to shoot it a lot so in my opinion those that are known to be harder on barrels would not be my first choice. If this were going to be strictly your 1000yd elk gun the 300Rum would be perfect. If I have to pick one however I'd stick with 300win like I said because if all goes as planned I'll only fire a few shots a year at game but lots & lots of shots on paper/steel. Actually I plan on building a 300wsm on a long action shooting 210-230's for this exact reason. Efficient and capable. A one gun does all is not the same thing as a perfect 1000yd elk gun in my opinion. Like I said earlier if that were the case I'd skip the RUM even though it fits the bill perfectly and go with a 338 of some sort because this rifle would not be firing hundreds of rounds a year and it could stretch it's legs out past the Rum a bit. These are just my thoughts though, take for what their worth. [/QUOTE]
