[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1019659, member: 80699"] Yep, me too! Went to another LGS today to see what they had. Turns out they did not have what I was hoping to see (a CTR), but did have a 5R in 300 win mag. They also had the Weatherby Vanguard Varmint RC I am interested in. Still like the Weatherby Varmint BC stock best, but it would need lengthened for me. However, the M40 stock on the 5R, while not as good a fit, was really good. As an aside, they had a rifle with what i believe was a McMillan with a very high monte carlo. That was pretty sweet from my perspective. Anyway, what is the thought around the idea of using a 300 or 7 mag for high volume practice....but loading them down to mitigate recoil to make that effective? Am I likely to see poor accuracy from this practice? If so, I might consider that 5R in 300 win mag. Pity they don't do it in 7mag. Another idea would be to consider getting a Remington long range and then rebarelling it to whatever I like...it has the same stock as the 5r I just looked at. Could put a Kreiger on it. Problem is, that takes me up to the $1300 range... Just some thoughts. [/QUOTE]
