[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 3037794, member: 86754"] "With the 160-175" it seems these Big 7's are just not that much faster than a 26" 7mm RM are they? I mean if one is a "normal hunting range" hunter, shots usually under 350yd, are they? Most elk killed around here are 200yds and way under, often less than 100yds. Any magnum is "usually" a bit heavier and slower to bring into use at those ranges, especially for fast shots, I know these big guns are fascinating, and the right tool for "way out there". I always have the use of my Marine SIL's Mod 700 300 RUM/200 NAB and 6.5x20 Huskemaw scope, 26" barrel, brake, Shilen trigger and a Boyds Laminate stock I had slimmed/trimmed down and checkered.
