I'm 60 and got my first 7RM in 1977. It was a Sako Finnbear and I regret selling it. I've killed over 200 head of big game with this cartridge including elk, mule deer, white tail, shiras moose, pronghorn, bighorn, black bear. I've used a couple dozen other cartridges and have been happy with all as long as the bullet matches the cartridge and game. I consider the 7RM to have a high ratio of good performance to the recoil given. I believe I've had four rifles thus chambered through the years and feel they have been well balanced in performance and practicality. I could say the same about a few other chamberings too.
