[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 723991, member: 21068"] If you are still thinking about using the 7 mag for an "all purpose" gun. A thing to do IMO would be go slightly bigger on the contour of the 300, like a #6 or fluted sendaro contour or something of the like. That will make it a more stable LR only platform. You wont want to pack it as far, but that's the whole purpose of a LR rig IMO. We dont pack them far, but they are accurate enough to make up the distance with the bullet. One other consideration for the LR only platform would be a muzzle break. LR accuracy comes at a price, and that price is practice. Personally, I would never shoot a 300 magnum often enough to be any good with it without a brake on it. Again, assuming it is [U]not[/U] gonna be used for an all around "walkabout" "spot and shoot" type of gun. Breaks come at a price too, and that's very excessive noise; they absolutely require hearing protection for every shot. Just some thought from another perspective. [/QUOTE]
