[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1724928, member: 86754"] I packed a Mod 700 BDL in 7mmRem Mag for about 10years. I feel the only way it could have been "better" was to be in a lightweight synthetic stock and a Leupold 4x. Why? Because of the "way I like to hunt"...I hug the edges and sometimes walk up game trails in the timber. I "can" shoot longer ranges, but I don't "like" to shoot past 200yds 'if I can get closer". So for me, it is a great caliber "in a stalking rifle platform". My new CA Mesa in 300WM is pretty close, "almost" a tad heavy for the quickest jump shooting, but workable. I handload, so I can and do go up and down the bullet weight/speed spectrum. Since I've owned many 7mms/magnums ( Remington, STW, RUM, 280AI, 280, 7x57, 7mm-08, 7-30 Waters) I felt it was time to go back to the 30 cal...for "me". In fact, if I could have found a Mesa in 30-06, at the time, I would have bought it instad of the 300WM, it "might" have been a few ozs lighter, ha. But I could not argue with you about your 7mm Rem Mag! :) [/QUOTE]
