[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 139806, member: 704"] I have never had a 7mm, but have had a couple of 300 Win mags. One very light rifle and the other a Remington Sendero. I still have a light Browning A Bolt in 300WSM. Like eyexer said it depends on the stock and recoil pad. I wore out a barrel on one 300 Win mag shooting prairie dogs with it. I had to buy a 308 to play with so I would not wear out the new custom rifle. I would think either a 7mm or a 300 Win mag would perform well on elk. I was watching a utube video of a guy shooting elk to 900 yards with a 6.5 Creedmoor. Many an elk has fallen to the old 94 Winchester. Between the two cartridges your considering I would be more concerned with the make of the rifle, the trigger, and the general feel in my hands. If I was hunting in grizzly country where I may have to defend myself I would choose the larger frontal diameter. I hear people talk about being undergunned and overgunned. Isn't overgunned sort of like being to happy. [/QUOTE]
