[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1229444, member: 33159"] I've been leaning towards the Norma. I like overbores........I have a 7 STW!! Although I like having the ability and confidence in a cartridge at longer distances, I rarely shoot anything over 400 yards. I practice long shots, and became proficient at them the years I lived in Colorado because it was necessary. I pretty much big game hunt in NM, CO and WY, so I want a caliber that can reach out there if necessary. But, I always try to get closer to my quarry to increase my odds of a quick ethical kill. Plus, I have to admit that I'm using this as an excuse for my 11 year old in order to get a new rifle. I'm not getting any younger, I don't live at high altitude anymore, so I don't enjoy humping up a mountain at 10,0000 ft with a heavy rifle. My 300 WSM is lighter, but the Norma may become a mountain rifle for me. Thanks for all the input everyone I may purchase both calibers.......one for me, and one for my boy. As we all know, you can never have enough rifles!! Both calibers are great, so why choose!! Thanks Doug [/QUOTE]
