I have a Remington 700 in 7mmSTW cal.. Stainless, plastic stalk, drop out magazine and muzzle break. The gun is very sweet to shoot with very little kick and I have a lot of confidence in it. This enables me to make shots that might be a little bit of a reach but I know the gun can handle it and so can I. I reload all of my own bullets so I can afford to shoot alot and shooting a lot is the key to being a good shot.
