[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1190773, member: 77249"] A lot depends on what your plans are for the rifle. If you are going to do a lot of mountain climbing and hunting in wet country, A light stainless rifle would have some advantages. I bought a 300 WSM about 2004 when it first hit the market in a Kimber 8400 Montana. To keep it light this rifle wears a 2.5 X 8 Leopold VXIII and nylon Sling, weighs about 7 1/4 lb. This rifle likes 180 gr. bullets, I have taken Deer, Elk, and Caribou. I sort of limit my shots to 300 yds. My hunting buddy hunts with a 17 lb. 30 inch barrel 300 Rum with a 5.5 X24 Night Force. He can have the shots over 300 yds. Or I am going to have to be sneaky. [/QUOTE]
