[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 188066, member: 8843"] well number one , don't be scared of brakes ALOT of guys here shoot rifles from prone with brakes , it not a factor when you use a properly desgined baffel style brake , as they don't have holes on the bottom. Second is the caliber you have will cleanly kill deer to 1000yds and elk to 600 with the right bullets and shot placement , just need to get the accuracy down some. The 300 mag will step up in power a little but not worth the cost of the rebarrel. Seeing that already have the action you will be FAR better served with a rebuilt rifle than one from HS , in my oppinion they are way over priced. For around $1000 give or take , you can turn your 7mm into a 300Rum that should shoot under 1/2 moa , using your current stock having it bedded youir factroy trigger tuned and your action rebarreled trued and braked. the 300RUm with 200gr accubods will kill elk with authority at 600yds and effectivly to 1000yds and with a good brake will likely kick less than your 280 !!
