[QUOTE="Konrad.INc, post: 1322301, member: 86301"] I know this caliber isn't on your list, but it is a hybrid of 2 that Are on your list. I bring it up because I wanted to do exactly what you are talking about doing. I wanted to have plenty of energy to take an elk out to 800 yards and yet still be comfortable on a day to day basis for shooting at my local 600 yard range. It had to be a good rifle to pack as well, so the balance had to be right and the weight had to be in the 8-10lb range. So I built a 7mm SAUM, I'm pushing 175 ELD-X bullets at 2850fps with 59gr of H1000 loaded at 2.955 OAL for a hunting load. Depending on the day the bullet is traveling 1900fps and has 1400ft-lb at 800 yards. Rifle Specs, 24" Krieger #4.5 contour Stainless 5R rifled barrel Thunder Beast Arms Muzzle brake (Still waiting on my suppressor) Stainless Tikka T3 Action (Lighter than a Remington and stiffer) Custom Walnut stock that I built to fit me with a limbsaver recoil pad Leupold VX-3 CDS Side Focus 4.5-14X40 9-13 inch Bipod Rifle weighs in at 9.25 lbs with a leather sling. In the past I owned a pair of 260 remington (No muzzle brake) target rifles, this 7 SAUM (With a muzzle brake) has almost exactly the same recoil as the 260 remington's. It really is pleasant to shoot. [/QUOTE]
