[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 839600, member: 11717"] For 5 - 600 yard shooting/hunting, I would want at least a sub MOA rifle. It doesn't have to be .5 MOA. If your rfiles shoot that well, then you don't "need" to rebarrel yet. That said, when Elk are on the menu, I like a big 30 cal. The 7 RM can get the job done but a 300 mag can get it done better with with more chance of anchoring a bull on the spot. If you do decide to go ahead with the project, you might consider selling your 700 the way it is and putting the cash toward a full custom build. By the time you pay for blueprinting and upgrades you could use the sale $$$ toward a custom action and come close to breaking even, maybe even be a little ahead. I like the 300 WSM over the 300 WM, especially if you're only shooting to 600 yds. The WSM case is a little more efficient and with RL17 you can match WM velocities and probably get more barrel life.
