[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 684072, member: 30902"] You're in about the same shape I'm in with my 300wm and 7mm STW. My M-70 300wm fully outfitted is under 8lbs and just a real pleasure to carry or for a truck gun to grab quick and get out the window. The STW is 1.5lbs heavier and is a real monster killer out to a thousand yards with no problem. My dedicated LR rig though is the Sendero 300 Rum with the Gentry Quiet brake on it, and for anyone who wants to reduce the blast/noise of their magnum who isn't planning on prone shooting I'd always recommend it. There are more effective brakes at reducing recoil but for the reduction in blast/noise and the headaches they produce man it's a wonder. As it sets now my elk trip for next year will have me packing the 300wm as a saddle gun or if I need to get off and hoof it, but if we set up specifically for Long Range I'll have the Rum. The nice thing is I'll also have the 7mm STW along as a backup rig for myself or any of my hunting partners. I'm with you though the 7mm and 30 cal's really put you in a position where it's next to impossible to find yourself under gunned in the vast majority of hunting scenarios. [/QUOTE]
