[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 319761, member: 12"] I would stay with the 300 Win mag of the two choices. The RUM w/o a brake is not fun at all. However, if you have a donor action I would recommend a 300 WSM over the 300 win. Here is why, 2-3x the barrel life and same ballisitics so no basic retooling your ballistics memory. You can run the 190s at 3000 fps+ and 210s at 2850-3000 depending on barrel and length. We have LR BR competition winning WSMs with 2500-4000 rds down the tubes. No Win Mags do that. I would sell the original action bolt and go buy a Pacific Tool and Gauge (PTG) bolt from Dave Kiff with WSM bolt face and either the M16 or Sako extractor set up correctly. No matter what choice, I would buy the PTG bolt and go with a Wyatts extended box. The other stock to look at is the Manners stocks. Less expensive and faster delivery. as for barrels, Lilja is good, Broughton, Bartein, Krieger, Brux, Douglas, Shilen etc are all good and will make a great shooting gun. BH [/QUOTE]
