[QUOTE="WarKitty, post: 996371, member: 82962"] Thanks for the replies. I don't think I could trade either. once I get a gun I bond with it and have a hard time parting with it. The closest thing is I let my dad take with him an AR-15 and AK-47. Doesn't really count since I know where they will end up when he dies. I still have a Core 15 1:9 DI AR and a Adams 1:7 Piston AR and an AK I got from my father in law when he died. It was a single stack Clinton era ban model. I had the mag well modified, put on a quad rail, and a Tapco stock.... its awesome now. LOL point is once I get em I don't let them go far. But I prolly will go the dual setup idea. Make the 300 the new all around animal killer and make the 338 a long range boomer or Alaska bear gun. I'll demote the 6MM to target and critter duty although it has killed a lot of game including a bear. The bear was by accident when I was young and it was about 30 yards away on its back legs staring at me. I was scared stiff. My plan was take the shot with the 6MM, drop the rifle and immediately pull the Python and blast away. I aimed for the throat as I thought the bullet would not penetrate well in the chest and I also thought at close range it might shoot high. To make a long story short the 90 grain Nosler bullet entered its throat and decimated its spine at the brain stem area. I dropped the rifle for no reason.
