I thought so but just wanted to be sure. For me personally I love the 7mm Rem. Mag. But that's just me.

I have a remington 7mm stw and a remington 300 rum. Both guns are fantastic!!! the stw is topped with a leupold 3x9 and the 300 ultra mag is topped off with a swavorski 4x12x50. i'll be hunting with my 300 this deer season. At 100 yrds i'm shotting 3/16 groups. Both guns shoot re-loads and i cant be happier. Deer season now just needs to get here:)

My dad has a 7mm mag bdl and I have a weatherby 300 win mag and have shot animals with them both. Personally I don't think you could go wrong with either  :tup:

There's very little difference. The main difference that I see is with the smaller 7mm caliber, recoil is less. With a 30 caliber, recoil is going to be more, simply because of the heavier bullet. Ballistics are virtually identical if using comparable bullets.

I Have shot both. I own a 7mm Rem Mag and I am very happy with it. I will stick with my 7mm till the day I die  :)
Hunting and Fishing is not what I do. But who I am...

 I have a couple of each and prefer the 7mm. I am currently building another 7mm for long distance shooting, Ruger action, Hart 26", 10/1 twist, 4.5 contour, and 1.250 fluted barrel, Jewell trigger shooting 168gr. Bergers or Barnes TSX. With a nightforce 5.5-22x50 I should be able to hunt anything in this country out to 1200 yards. ;)

 7mm has a better BC. ;)
