[QUOTE="JPHunter, post: 1222764, member: 74047"] Thanks guys, I felt like I already knew the answer I just needed some confirmation from people more knowledgeable than I, so i appreciate it. For what I want it's almost a six of one type thing between them. As for gun, i don't want to go too light. I personally dislike kimbers, the main reason being they seem to be really inconsistent at least in Aus and NZ. It's a flip of a coin as to whether you get a tack driver or one that can't shoot, my brother had the latter. 90% of the hunting we do in Australia is stalking or what you guys call still hunting. For that you need a gun that balances offhand well. I missed an easy 100m offhand shot on a really good red stag with my brothers Montana purely because it was so light I couldn't keep it steady. I want something around the 2.8-3kg mark. Maybe around the 6.5-7.0 lb mark i guess you'd say. I'd love a sako finnlight but don't have near on $3k to spend. I've never handled a weatherby of any kind but have heard decent things about the back country 2. Really am open to suggestions though. [/QUOTE]
