LAST EDITED ON May-17-12 AT 09:34AM (MST)[p]I am currently shooting a 300 Win Mag. It is an A-Bolt and I have had some good success with it.
However, I have a new Remington 700 7mm that I am thinking about using.
I am going to primarily use it for a sheep hunt. The 7mm is lighter, and the small amount of research I have done, seems to be a good "long range" option.
Now my long range is 400-500 yards. I usually try to shoot less than 300. But, this hunt I have planned, most likely will require a 400-500 shot.
Now I know what you are thinking, the 7mm will not allow me a guarantee on anything. I need to practice! I understand this.
My 300 has a muzzle brake, stainless barrel, and a wood stock.
The 7mm is synthetic and lighter and does not have a muzzle brake (which I like).
Am I nuts to think about switching? I usually try to stick with one all around rifle. So, if I do, the 300 might start collecting dust?? How about some ideas??
