[QUOTE="straightshooter, post: 402723, member: 9775"] I have considered the wsm, but this rifle will be mainly a target rifle. I would like to keep the reloading cost down. I will be selling my 223 and a Ruger Hawkeye 308 to fund this build. This will be my only rifle for a couple years, till I save the money for the big gun. As I stated, I shoot every weekend and don't want the reloading cost to cut into my next project. The short mags are still of interest and not ruled out, but just cost that much more. I do like the extra performance and would consider a 7mm wsm. I like the versatility of the Savage rifle, but I am actually a crf guy. If I could find a smith and after market stock, I would convert my Ruger to a 284 and be done with it. Has anyone shot a large bull elk at 650 yards or farther with a 308 winchester, and if yes how did it turn out? I have shot the 308 for a while but have never taken it hunting. I just don't have the confidence in this caliber. [/QUOTE]
