[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 749005, member: 55580"] If you are going to be dropping the new rifle into a different stock off the bat, why spend so much initially? You can get a brand new SPS in either of the RUM's for $500. You could also look at buying the action and then looking at a higher end barrel. Just seems like a lot of money to spend on a rifle when you are going to be ditching the stock anyway. One other note, the magazine capacity for a 300 RUM should be 3+1, not 2+1 I think. I personally have a 300 RUM and, for 600 yards and less, that is probably what I would recommend. You are going to have a very flat shooting round that has plenty of killing power for any game out to that distance. And really, the 300WBY would also be solid as well. I don't really see the need for a 338 for 600 yards. Just my $.02! [/QUOTE]
