[QUOTE="trebark, post: 562535, member: 19172"] When you rebarrel the 7mag, you can pretty much choose any cartridge with a magnum bolt face (.534). The 7Rem Mag and 7RUM both use the same boltface, so you can easily rebarrel to 7RUM. If you're going to leave other rifles as 300rum, then no reason to build a 7rum. Plus the 7rum is a known barrel burner. As I said before, I would recommend building a rifle in a cartridge that would give you a lot more barrel life. Why buy a 30-378 when you already have a 300rum? While your Ruger is probably a very nice rifle, I would recommend you sell it and use the cash on the other two rifles. There are LOTS of aftermarket parts for the Rem700s and every gunsmith works on Rem700s. But it is difficult to find aftermarket parts (especially custom rings and bases) for the Rugers. The TC Encore is a nice rifle but not a great platform for a longrange rifle. Because it's so lightweight, it could be your carry-rifle. [/QUOTE]
