I consider the 7mm REM Mag my absolute perfect, trophy deer cartridge. When money (paid hunt) or a trophy buck is on the line, I grab one of my 7mm RMs. I have the upmost confidence it will get the job done on deer to any practical distance close or far.

I have taken more deer with a 7mm-08 over the last decade or two and love it for many reasons but the 7mm RM gives me that extra confidence when I get serious about a trophy. I have taken the majority of my larger WT bucks and made some of my tougher shots with a 7mm RM. There are more efficient, faster, lower recoiling, more portable, less blast, yada-yada-yada cartridges but the 7mm Remington Magnum flat out works on deer.
