[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 453839, member: 22600"] Don't be easily fooled. The 7Rem Mag will do ya just fine. There sure seems to be a push to the RUM and STW. The 7mag has been shooting 1000 yards just fine since the time of its birth. I would recommend a little longer barrel. Something in the neighborhood of 27-28 inches will fit the bill nicely. You will be running the 168 grain Bergers to over 3000 FPS and have ample energy for even Elk to 1000 yards if you care to. There is a reason that these long range turnkey systems are chambering their rifles in the 7mm Rem. It is because it works. Sure the RUM and the STW will get you there faster, but it comes at quite a price too. [/QUOTE]
