I'd buy a 7mm SAUM (Short Action Ultramag). You get all the benefits of all the 7mm's plus it hasa cool name and is "Ultra"!
And yes I have one!

It is has been such a slow seller that it will soon be difficult to find brass.let alone factory loads.
Oh no, I'm doomed...
I should have gotten the 7 RM!
You want to talk cool $hit my next build is going to be a .375-50 BMG. Imagine a 300 grain bullet at over 4500 fps.!!! It will shoot FLATTER than a laser!
(It will be sooooo much cooler than your puny laser equipped 7mm Magnum!)The 48" barrel may be a little awkward to carry in the bush but to tell the truth I don't plan to use it for mountain hunting anyways. Hell! I will be able to mount it on the roof of the pickup - like the jeeps I saw in the old Rat Patrol TV show - and shoot the damn goats from the road at the bottom of the mountain. I am pretty sure I can teach the lab to retrieve a goat from the top of the mountain and save these old legs of mine a bit of abuse.
I plan on mounting a Swarovski STS-80 HD High Definition Spotting Scope on top to use as a scope as I think I should be able to paint on a pretty decent reticule with the fingernail polish my wife found in my glove-box. (I have been looking for a way to explain the polish and this might be it.)

That's nothing, the Remington 710 can shoot 1/4 inch at 300 yards. That's MOA out to 1200 yards! That .300 is nutin'
X 2 don't belive what you read about the 710 it got an undeserved bad rap ! They are a great rifle any conesuer will tell you so .
This is the best idea yet. Maybe in a double. That would be sweet. Flip up peep sight. Could slay those deer like nothing else. Would have to use the TSX though.
Don't worry about ten years from now. With the improvements they have made in the last ten years, I would expect that ten years from now the RUM and the STW will be so slow compared to future guns that your kids will have no use for anything with a trajectory.

No offense, but you sound like you're not a very seasoned shooter. The RUM and STW will recoil more than you will want to handle or likely be able to shoot well enough to hit an RC Car (WTF that's about I don't know) at more than 300 yards. You really should be starting with a 308, which will do everything you want and not beat you up. However, of the three you mention, the 7mm Remington is the best choice for you.
i LOVE the kick , that is y i want to go biger , after 2000 shots it is nuting (i am close to 280lb's , more kick the better , i am also looking at a .50cal Steyr HS50 that i can get for $2400 used
not for hunting for for long range

at close to 280 lbs, you should try hunting. Get a little exercise and little more protein and and a lot less carbs.
what round are you comparing this to? kill better? bullet placement is more important and any of the above calibres will kill equally as effective....and longer barrel life? i don't think the ultra mags are known for their long barrel life.
