I'm with BigJim, if you enjoy reloading the RUM are worth it IMO. I grew up in Wyoming, hunting big canyons and fairly long shots. I grew up shooting a 7mm mag and swore I would never trade anything for it. Only thing I have is for the 7mm RUM. It just stretches you out that much further and flattens the already great 7mm bullet. It's the one gun out of all I own, I would take if I had to only pick one gun. The RUM's are worth it, but seem to fit a certain type of hunter and you MUST be a reloader. If your not, do like he did and sell it. Factory loads are worthless and expensive for the RUMs.
