[QUOTE="crashlanding, post: 2798178, member: 44614"] Howdy from Colorado as well, this is a great forum. These are just personal opinions, 7mm rem mag, awesome cartridge, nothing in this state you can’t kill with. Barrel length, 24” is plenty enough if you plan to hunt timber or the cedars, if it’s only a plains rifle you can go longer. Velocity loss is mostly insignificant at your max range of 700 yards. Scope and reticle choice is mostly personal, anything from $800 on up will get you something decent enough, personally keep your reticle fairly clear of unneeded lines, they only get in the way for closer in shots. If you’re shooting 160 class bullets imr or h4831 would serve you well and I see it on our shelves out on the western side of the state now, those really slower powders rarely show up out here. Have fun with your build, good luck with hunting [/QUOTE]
