I have a pre 64 win 70 in 7 STW w/ a SS barrel and fiberglass stock, or a completely custom 03-A3 in 338-06 in the black w/ iron sights. I built the 03-A3 as an ultimate north american dangerous game rifle, but now I don't want to mess it up. Plus I like to have some optic. Is a 160 gr 7mm round traveling at about 3000 fps big enough?
Your 7mm will do just fine. Most bushkins don't use rifles any larger than .30-06. Magnums are only popular with L48ers and those within the gravitational influences of skAnchorage.
