7 RM is an excellent cartridge. Depending on where and how you hunt there are quite a few Remington 700's to choose from. The SS SPS or the Sendero are both decent rigs. A Stainless SPS dropped into a McMillan can be a rock solid choice. 450 yards is very doable with a sporter weight rifle shooting prone.
A Sendero would make a man out of most guys in elk country, but I've seen more than a few guys doing it. Quite a few do for a season but not near as many do it more than once.
The ABolts are pretty light rifles, I know a bunch of guys that really like them. The one I briefly owned was a shooter.
