I had a thread recently wherein I described my Model 700 in 7mm Remington Magnum. I sold it to my hunting buddy in the '90's. He's the one who had the stroke a couple of years ago, can no longer use it, so he gave it back. Anyway, I'm looking forward to using it again. Fantastic open sagebrush country mule deer and antelope combination. The first time I had it, though, I got lured in by its velocity potential, and wound up with a lot of bloodshot meat. I'm using heavier bullets now, lowering velocities a bit, hoping to mitigate that tendency. That was why I sold it to him in the first place. Now that it's back, I don't want to go through that again.
