[QUOTE="wklohr, post: 675188, member: 51250"] Gents! I thoroughly appreciate your input on this topic and the warm welcome. Much obliged! I know the 308 is the lightweight around this huntin' lodge :) but I supspect that "I" fit the caliber as well. I've not had nearly enough experience with long range shooting nor the larger energy loads, and I want to practice (Good advice from above) without getting spooked by recoil/noise. The 308 matches my 375 Win lever almost exactly in this department. Go with whatcha know, so for now, this is the plan. My brother, however, has a 358 Norma, so I may borrow it to start getting accustomed to the heavier recoil. I am about to spend the most I have EVER spent on a firearm so it and I will grow together in the longer distances and when I am up to snuff, I will consider moving onward and upward to that 300 or 338. A man can never have too many shootin' irons. :) Again, thanks for the sound advice and input. Good to be here. William Frederick, MD [/QUOTE]
