I had one in a German Mk V back in the 1970's took it moose hunting twice in 72 and 73. Its a great cartridge if you can shoot it well enough. I found while I liked it, after that moose hunt in 73 it sat in my gun rack for 20 years. I picked it up again and shot it twice and sold it. The Fellow that wanted it, paid a premium price for it, being a german one. Those two shots hit pretty much where it was hitting when I last shot it. If it was keeping me up at night, I would get a barrel so chambered for my Blaser. 7mm RM is more that enough cartridge for the hunting I do, heck I do most of my current hunting with a 7 x 57 and at time feel like I am shooting way more powerful than what is needed. 90 lb White Tail's don't take much.
