I don't have one but my huntin' pal does. A 7mm STW, he says it will push a 140 grain bullet at 3400 FPS with handloads. When sighted in at 100YDS it is 3 inches high at 200 YDS and 2 inches low at 400. He hasn't shot it at 1000 though but that should be flat enough shooting for you. The problem, he says, is kick but if this is a heavy muzzle braked gun this suoldnt be a problem. That being said his gun is 9.5 pounds scoped and has a small port on the barrel and recoil is like an average weight .300 Win Mag. Savage makes a gun in their 16F series chambered for 7mm STW and 7mm RUM. Not too pricy either. Good luck with your shooting. Tell us what gun you get.
