I have a safe full of 7mm Rem Mag's, so I obviously like them a lot!
I am however toying with the idea of building a "ultralight" long range rifle for hunting the high country mule deer and elk out west and I'm considering the Nosler 28 and 195 Berger combo Jake mentions above. I want the rifle as compact as possible, but will have to stay with a 26" barrel length to justify the chambering, other wise the additional powder and recoil are wasted. With the 7mm Rem Mag a 24" barrel is good.
Are you also looking to go the lightweight route? Just another consideration...
