Just a deer hunter, never been out west for bigger game. The 7mag is my favorite though, they have worked great for me. Cutover, bean fields, hardwood bottoms, or pine thickets it just always works. I hunted with a 30-06 and 308 for years, but the 7mag is easier for me to shoot accurately from 200 to 300 yards. I keep several deer rifles, but I just hunt with one, my Model 700 7mag.
