[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 129765, member: 12"] If you are in TN, stay with the WSM and do not look back. Much easier to build a good WSM that is more suited to eastern hunting than 338s. I just took a 700 SPS in WSM and restocked it. tried to get the factory barrel to shoot good, but as it was not stress relieved it started throwing at shot 3. Just put a #4 Lilja on it at 26". Gun, scope, sling weighs 9.2 lbs. If I lived out west and constantly shot 1000 plus and with the wind, elk etc, I would go with a 338, but not east of the Mississipi for my first custom gun.
