[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 573442, member: 20443"] I agree if you were purely speaking which bullets would kill elk better at long range, the 300 RUM wins hands down. The problem is this isnt neccesarily the best option for me right now. I want a repeater, I know you can single shot these just fine but I dont want to. So wanting a repeater greatly increases the cost just in bottom metal alone. Yes they both use the same boltface but I was informed there would be more work needed, it would be minor but still increasing cost. On the muzzlebreak I agree and I plan on installing one at some point but with the heavier barriel, not sure if Im going with the m24 contour or remington varmint contour, as well as the new stock (mcm a-5 vs the hs on it now) Im not sure I'll need one. I have no problem with recoil now and with this added weight it may be more than managable. The other point is that I am already way over budget and I have to draw the line somewhere. I didnt plan on a new custom barrel (going to use rock creek) I didnt plan on a new stock. By going this route I will have a guaranteed 1/2 MOA shooter and it will allow me to extend my ranges. After the my skills become adequate for this longer shots and the barrel gets used up. I will re barrel to the 300 RUM. If cost were not an option I would build a 300 RUM but this is not the world I live in. [/QUOTE]
