[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1073410, member: 12995"] 7mm RemMag will suit you very well. I don't understand what people are talking about the .270 Win being similar to the 7mmRM, since they are 2 totally different animals and shoot 2 totally different weight bullet classes... The bullet diamters are very similar, but the bullet weights offered and the BC's available are heavier/higher for the 7mm calibers. But the 7mm RemMag and .300 WinMag are very similar. Either one should be just fine for you. My preference is the 7mm RemMag or the 7mm STW. And if you plan on reloading, they cost about the same, but the STW can handle more powder, pushing the heavy 180's faster than the 7mm RemMag. The new Remington 700 Long Range is offered in 7mm RemMag and a 26" heavy barrel with a 1:9 twist. You would be able to shoot up to 180gr bullets with it, and the 26" heavy barrel will be excellent for LR shooting. It also comes in a B&C Medalist stock with an aluminum bedding block. For $650-750 it's hard to beat just based off the features it has. Of course, like almost any factory rifle, you will want to swap the trigger with a Timney or Jewell. And if you ever decided you wanted a 7mm STW, all you would have to do is have the chamber of your 7mm RemMag opened up to 7mm STW. [/QUOTE]
