[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 180633, member: 8"] Hello. and welcome. I didnot know that they had F-class in Idaho. Why don't you go down in the competition section and write up a thread on F-class in Idaho. You might get some people to come. Here are some things to think over being as you are like a lot of people who don't want to hunt with a brake and I can understand that easily. Depending on where you are located, drive up to Rathburn and see Shawn Carlock or over to Ft Shaw Montana and see Kirby and have him fit you a brake AND A CAP. Practice with the brake and then when it gets to be hunting season take off the brake and put on the cap. This will require resetting you zero perhaps and perhaps not. Shawn's brakes are slotted and you can talk to him about the indexing issue of taking it on and off and if it will get much out of alignment. He can put on something different if he thinks it is a problem. Now then, there is nothing wrong with a 7 Rem mag except it is not a 1000 yard elk rifle. Running the Sierra 175 MK or Berger 180s or Nosler Accubonds you can stretch it to about 800 yards but you need bullets that have enough hardness or sectional density to break through the shoulder into the chest cavity. If it was me I would stay with the rifle "as is" if it is accurate and spend the money on better glass. You might do some simple things like bed it and have the trigger adjusted when the brake is installed. [/QUOTE]
