[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 962101, member: 63138"] JW74 Checking out the gun shops hey? Since you don't seem stuck on the WSM family let me throw another idea out to you. I have a Savage LRP in 260 Rem. This rifle has the HS Precision stock, full length aluminum bedding block, 26 inch fluted no taper target barrel, target action, target accutrigger (can be set way low), center feed detachable box mag. It is a HEAVY rifle and it shoots. A friend of mine has the identical rifle. After we got bored with 600 yards we took to shooting golf balls at 800 yards. That is a challenge but the rifle is up to it. The reason I mention this rifle is you can shoot it constantly and it won't overheat. You also will get 3,000 plus rounds of barrel life. You won't get anywhere near that with the 300 WSM and the 260 Rem is very pleasant to shoot with no muzzle break - especially in this heavy rifle. With no brake the gun also has no bark which those on the next bench over will appreciate if not yourself. [/QUOTE]
