I will throw in a vote for the 300 RUM, the 7 is flat and fast, but you are trading it off with a little less barrel life. I use a Holland brake on mine and my 9 year old son says he likes shooting it better than his 243. If i put a nice recoil pad on his 243 like the one on my 300 he would probably change his tune, his is just an original stock with the hard plastic butt on it. Still the 300 doesn't hardly rock him back at all.
After running some numbers and pushing what i would guess it a really hot load out of the 7RUM it was only 2-3 MOA difference at 1000 yards. Not much in the big scheme of things. Correct me if i am wrong on the difference, i have never owned or tested the 7Rum just ran some numbers with some claimed velocities i have seen posted about them.
