are you sure the 7mm WSM would have enough power to take elk/moose at 400 yards???? it doesnt matter if it is wood or synthetic

I am late with the suggestion - but I would put my money on Tikka Lite 300 Win Mag.... Stay away from the modern wing ding short mags if you can.. ammo is really expensive and not everyone carries it...
