I bought a LH Model 700 in 1980. Used it exclusively on Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetail, Antelope and Caribou for a dozen years or so. Used it on Elk for 35 years. Over the years, I had the shiny metal coated with teflon and turned it into an ADL with an H S Precision stock. This one has the 24" barrel but still shoots 160 grain Nosler Partitions @ 3090 fps.
Everyone needs at least one 7 Mag of some kind. Doesn't kick much. Mine groups 3 in about 3/4". I've enjoyed it a lot.
