[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2858782, member: 10755"] Well, I had a 7RUM when first introduced on a cheapish BDL way back then, we played around in the shop trying to match the 3 power level ammo…gave up doing that when we had dented shoulders and cases sooted their entire length and blew a brake clean off the barrel. Got just over 700 rounds through it in 5 months and it was toast, now we didn’t exactly look after it, it was a shop gun… Really enjoying the 300 RUM, bought the only gun available here in 2020, a SPS Stainless built in 2015, very nicely finished and has zero issues, even the trigger is smooth for a Remington. Was covered in dust, sat on a shelf for 4 years. The recoil for me is fine, no problem, but I don’t like the feel of the stock at all. Impressed with the ballistics and accuracy, shoots very well for an untouched factory gun, other than a bedding job and re-enforcement around the wrist and fore end. Built a 338 Edge, really nice cartridge, extremely accurate, but just wasn’t fast enough for my liking for 2,000 metre shooting. Sure, it did it with ease, but I felt it lacking. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
