[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 671032, member: 20646"] THis is a *great* thread and thanks so much for asking such a pertinent question (despite the likelihood of ignorant/biased posters de-railing/subverting positive dialogue about your question). I'm currently in the beginning stages of a move to a "elk-hunting-possible" state (a life-long dream) and have a 7RM i'd love to use for elk hunting. However, i've read so much about the more humane killing ability of the fast, modern .338 cartridges for elk at longer ranges i was in a bit of a quandry. I was considering whether to start saving for something custom in a fast .338 or if i'd be able to have my "old" (my 1983 HS grad present) Rem700 ADL 7RM "modernized". The saving process would have taken a LONG time for me as i'm in transition. Since my longest game kill is ~525yds (using my 7RM, 175grn factory loads and iron sights back in 1985....) and i've not shot in far too long, i'm now more convinced than ever that my 7RM, with reloading (need to re-acquire that stuff too), i can *easily* get out to 600 with diligence in training. This discussion has profoundly good timing!!! [/QUOTE]
