Why do you say that? There are a lot of good scope choices for that rifle that have 40mm objectives.
1” tube. Limited elevation travel. If you hunt out west, and you have a wonderfully capable cartridge like the 7RM, why not give yourself the ability to shoot it to its potential? 175’s and 180 high BC’s make it such a gem.

Otherwise, why shoot a 7RM? Get a 6.5 creed, .260, 7-08, and save yourself the recoil punishment and powder burn.

I’m with you on the cartridge. I wanted him to get a 7mm-08 or 308 but he was set on the 7mm mag. He’s never going to shoot further than 400
