[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1287362, member: 30902"] I have 3 Rum's and really enjoy them. My all time favorite "Do it All" rifle is the 7mm STW. The higher BC's of the heavy for caliber .30's can really make you a big difference beyond 600yds and there's no denying that. Everything associated with a 300 Rum costs you more and you pay for that extra performance with increased muzzle blast and recoil. If you aren't the least bit recoil sensitive it's not a big deal. The other issue with the Rum is shortened barrel life compared to smaller cased .30's like the good ole .300wm. Until you get beyond a thousand yards you really can't do anything with the Rum that you can't do just as well with the wm and the wm is cheaper and just more fun to shoot. I'm not at all recoil shy but if you want to enjoy a day of shooting, meaning 20, 30, 50 rounds the cumulative effect of the recoil adds up. You can ameliorate it's effects with a good brake/suppressor and recoil pad but it's still substantially more than the 300wm. There are also a couple of other really neat 30's out there but as I frequently say, "The .300wm is never the wrong answer". [/QUOTE]
