[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 669395, member: 48043"] I've owned two 300 win rifles at once. The minute I needed money the one I liked less went down the river. A light bullet/heavy bullet combo makes some sense, but 300 wins don't settle down until you have a 150-165 grain bullet in them, so one rifle with a 165-200 grain pill would be better. If you are getting another rifle get in a caliber that is really different enough to warrant buying. If you are thinking about a bit 338, they are great, but get behind someone elses' rifle first and give her a few rounds to make sure you know what you are in for. The 300 isn't a slouch; it will do 2700-2800 fps with a 220 grain hpbt. The ultra and lapua hit 2700 fps on a 300 if pushed some. It's 27% more down-range for the 33's. The problem you have is the big 7's and big 30's are the best you can get in a carryable rifle without a brake on it. [/QUOTE]
