[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1510887, member: 104437"] The 7MM Rem Mag is a GOOD Elk- Moose caliber IMO,.. I'd buy; (1) a GOOD Scope,.. 4.5X X 14X Burris', are very reasonable and plenty of Scope, to 700 Yards, on Big Game ( or, similar ) The Burris 3x - 15X 30MM Veracity, is even nicer ( 2) Reload 154 grain Horn Interbond's, 160 grain Nosler Accubond's or 168 Berger Hunting Bullets for, plenty of "punch" to 700 Yards on Elk ! All the Bullets stated have, fairly flat trajectory, with, LOW recoil off, a Bipod, Sticks or, Pack ! (3) another MUST HAVE is, a GOOD Timney or other good Trigger for the Rem. M-700, set at about, 2 to 2.5 Pounds for Hunting (4) Glass BED the Rifle, as stated by others or, pay a "good" Gunsmith, to do it and "free float", the Barrel. (5) Practice "Field positions" after your loads are VERIFIED, at the ranges necessary and then,.. PRACTICE some more, until you can hit a 10" Steel Plate, at 400 yd's sitting on a Hillside, over "Sticks" , every time ! ( I use Hunters Specialties, the wood, $15.00 ones) with, my Pack rested, on my Chest, under the Rifle's "Toe" firmly supported. And then, practice to 700-750 yards over, the Pack/ bi-pod with, good "Toe" Support ( I use a Hollands Field rest ). You will also NEED to learn Wind reading, Skills as the Wind,.. is usually blowing when, Elk Hunting ! PS I only like a moveable top Turret as, the side "windage" Turrets, get bumped, quite often! And YES, "Zero" at 200 yards as, the 7 Mag is a Flat shooter with, medium weight, Bullets ! Good luck and have FUN ! [/QUOTE]
