[QUOTE="youngtrout, post: 544705, member: 5373"] Ya, have some things figured out. I just love to shoot and while not as much as some, try to do as much as I can. My closest range is only 100 yards, further I can get to 300 so much of my shooting is done at those ranges. (ya even in ak a guy has trouble just shooting out the front door) Taken sheep moose brown and black bears up here. Do get to stretch my range sometimes in the field, end of hunts typically do a bit of rock shooting and you mention you hunted up here so you know how hard it is. I micro manage gear ten times more than I did in the states, really very few weekend hunts here so my hunting typically comes down to two long hunts, plus say a four day weekend for spring bear my 300 and 375 have served me well here and picked up another action to build a rifle "based on LR rigs I've seen". So just trying to make a informed decision, First thoughts was a nice mellow shooter to work form and such, but now thinking along the lines of a braked 7saum which will still be a mellow shooter in a 10 pounder, I think, and offers better ballistics Ya, just get them both right? Wish I could, this year has me just affording the one, as for the wood, call me old fashion, when I first got into centerfires (mainly bowhunted) it was mausers and nice wood. A well sealed wood stock does good up here [/QUOTE]
