I have a 7RM Sendero. It's a nice hunting rifle. I believe it would take deer at 1k. But, I find it pretty challenging to range whitetails at 800 yds with a pretty decent Leica 1200 CRF. If you can't range it, you'll have a hard time hitting it. ...never mind the wind or other real world LRH challenges.
In essence, I don't think the cartridge is going to matter much here. You need to pick one of the many that were mentioned and build a decent long range rig and start practicing.
My next 7mm will probably be the RSAUM. If Lapua would hurry up and start producing the brass, that'd pretty much seal the deal for me.
I have nothing against the big 7's. But, I personally don't have a need for one as I already have a 300WM.
You need one really good rifle to develop confidence/experience. Sell the Browning. Build on a 700 (or 700 clone/custom e.g. Stiller). I'd put the extra $$$ in the custom action and optics/range finder etc... before complicating things with a switch barrel.
