[QUOTE="Thorgrim, post: 794014, member: 869"] The 7mm RM is a great cartridge. The .308 Win can not compete ballistically without going down to a smaller dia. bullet. ie. .260 or .243. With the 7mm RM you want to go with a 168-180 bullet for long range. The 7mm RM is not punishing. It depends on the rifle weight, and recoil pad. I had a Sako TRG-S 300WM (fell in the Verdigris River) that had a spacer set-up for the recoil pad. It sucked...I changed over to a Limbsaver pad and now the rifle is so much better to shoot. I have a built .308 rifle...so I am not knocking it. Chris Matthews owner/builder of longshotrifles in Missourri is building me a 7mm RM, Rem. 700 action, Broughton 5C barrel, McMillan stock (HTG,60%OD,20%black,20%grey swirl, Limbsaver), Williams bottom metal, Nightforce 3.5x15x50 NSX R1, PTG fluted OS bolt, speedlock, OD finish on metal. Should be a sweet shooter. I already have 500pcs of Norma brass and a load of Berger VLD's. I'd stick with the 7mm RM; but you will probably want to get rid of all the parts if you are serious about long distance shooting.:cry3: Maybe you should just sell it and buy a Tikka T-3 in .243.
