[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 415052, member: 9253"] That's probably because any scope that would be good for one would be work ok for the other. Personally I MUCH favor the 7mm Mag over the 300 WSM. It's not because of the cartridge. It's because nearly all gun manufacturers keep putting the WSM cartridges in short actions so you can't shoot low drag bullets. At least some companies like Remington and SAKO put the 7mm Rem Mag in rifles with 3.6" magazines so it can shoot low drag bullets. In my opinion both the SAUM and WSM series rifles should have at least 3.4" magazines, not the piddly 2.825" SAAMI spec magazine if they're to be used for long range shooting. I don't own any WSM rifle for that reason. I do own a 300 SAUM in the form of a DPMS LR-30S but the short magazine really cramps it's performance. [/QUOTE]
