[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 475858, member: 30671"] My hunting partner runs the "Edge" and I use the standard RUM. He probably gets across the board about 2% more velocity. Our choices probably reflect our personalities more than any technical advantage. The rifles and optics are slightly different as well. I'm a bit more conservative, and like that if need be I can get factory ammo. However, RUM ammo isn't so available as to be a factor. Having the barrel stamped the same as the ammo can be a benefit if you cross many borders. I took a .358 Ackley Improved into Canada with cases headstamped .300 H&H. For whatever reason this raised a flag with the border guard, and I got the most thoroughly searched I've ever been. I guess he thought I had another gun I wasn't declaring. He did let both rifle and ammo pass when he was done a couple of hours later. This was pre 9/11 so I was able to retain a little dignity. Again not big reasons, and I could change and not blink. I think your decisions about the rest of your setup: optics, stock, mounts, barrel, gunsmith will have more to do with how satisfied you are with the rifle. [/QUOTE]
