Wow !!! Now that the dust is clear, I will have to say that I'm very conflicted. I have owned a Remington 700 in 7M-08 for two years and love it. I could shoot that rifle all day long. I use it for deer hunting in Wisconsin. Here is where my conflict comes into play. I won a Win. Classic Featherlight in 7 WSM at my NRA Chapters Banquet last month. I still need to save up to scope it with Kahles 3x9 but which rifle do I use for my November season? I didn't ask for the extra power, but maybe I will take it for bear whenever I get selected for a tag. I have never shot a 7 WSM or Rem.mag.

The only novice advice I would give is that if you wanted one great, accurate rifle for deer, Elk, Bear, Muley's- I would go to with the 7 WSM. If you want a great, accurate rifle for deer,muley's, and even black bear- I would go with the 7m-08.

Oldelkhunter,Pyral and Bigcountry are much more experienced than I am since I have only shot the 7m-08. I have learned a lot about ballistics from reading what these guys have posted. I'm looking forward to future posting runs.

Good luck,
