[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2167116, member: 104363"] In '72 I saved enough to get a new 30-30 for $69. Later, my dad gave me a 742 Rem in 30-06. 20 years ago, bought a 30-06 Rem SPS. Killed a bunch of critters with both rifles. 10 years ago, a buddy wanted to sell his 7RM, so I bought it. Doing a lot of research then, found 7mm to be in that ballistic sweet spot for long range and the US F Class team won a bunch with them one year, so I had one built as a hunting rig. Tough choice on voting. I went with the 7 bore. Lots of bullet choices in this caliber today and a variety of chamberings. I just got a 280AI built and love that. Nothing wrong with the heavy 308 bullets and choices in chamberings. I guess for powder mileage, the 7mm's do a lot of work for less fuel overall. It's a great desert hunting cartridge. [/QUOTE]
