[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1627396, member: 33159"] First question: are you going to reload for this rifle or use factory ammo?? If factory ammo is your answer, then go the 7 Rem Mag route, for you will have lots of options and can find that ammo on the shelf anywhere you go. The 28 Nosler is an awesome round and will give you more horsepower than the Rem Mag, but you'll still be able to reach out there with the Rem Mag without any issues. I own a 7 STW which is the "older" version of the 28 Nosler. It's one of my favorite rifles and cartridges. I own a Christensen Arms Carbon Classic in 338 Lapua. The rifle is very light, recoil is nothing with the brake on, and it's a tack driver. I put a NF ATACR 5-25x56 scope on it and it balances out the rifle very well. I don't notice the rifle at all when I'm hiking up and down mountain sides while hunting. If you can find a Traverse model, I think you'd be very happy. Cooper makes excellent rifles, too. I know people that own them and they love them. Spend as much money as you possibly can on you optics. I've slowly replaced all of the original optics on all of my rifles for higher end scopes over the years. It took me looking through a friends Swarovski's to understand what I was truly missing. It does make a difference. [/QUOTE]
