[QUOTE="Strider, post: 588408, member: 25695"] I can vouch for the STW. I had one made about 7 years ago and really don't hunt with anything else anymore. I use it mainly for deer and elk. It is potent and accurate. It does shoot the 168 Bergers fairly accurate, but the chamber is cut too long to really hunt with them (won't fit in the magazine). I shoot a 150 gr. TSX at 3400 fps and it does great. I have made a half-dozen one-shot kills at 500 to 800 yards with it. I don't have a 300 Ruger, but I do have a Tikka 300 WSM. It is also extremely accurate, but I just like the zip of the STW better. The 300 Ruger could be made into a shorter/lighter rifle though, which is nice. [/QUOTE]
