[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 385928, member: 13285"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Sounds like you blokes think that the 7mm is marginal on Elk at that range. I would be using it on Fallow deer, Hog deer, Red deer and Sambar deer. Sambar are larger than Red deer but not as large as Elk. They are however very hard to kill at times once stirred up. Red deer are not that hard to put down for the count. I have a .338 Edge for the long stuff on Sambar and Reds, but at 14lbs it is not a light back pack rifle. I was hoping that the 7mm would fill the gap that I have for a light weight rifle that I can pack into remote areas and do the deed on a big Sambar stag. 700 yards would be the absolute maximum that I would consider with this calibre but most long shots would be in the 300 to 500 yard range in reality, so I hope that it can be successful on the bigger stuff. If not, it will be demoted for use on the smaller deer only. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
