Thanks cjp45 i think I have my mind made up. I am considering now only two specific guns. The 12fvss in 300 wsm shooting 180's and a 112fvss in 7mm mag shooting 165's as fiftydriver mention. I looked up the ballistic info on both with those weight of bullets and they both were on par with each other. If i do go with the 300 I could rebarrel to a 308 win later I think. what ever i get has to have another stock so my whole collection doesn't look the same, boring.

kbb468,
I have a SS Savage model 16 270WSM and really like it. I reload so price and availability of ammo not a problem. Really like the short action also. Not much chance of short strokeing the bolt like with long actions. Rifles are also a little lighter with short action. If I had to choose between the 300WSM and the 7mm mag I would go with the 300WSM. I say this because of being a short action round and greater choice of bullets in 30cal.
