[QUOTE="Yehti, post: 2542045, member: 123303"] As some have mentioned, the 300 WM seems to better fit your needs since you've already got the lighter \ flatter range met with your 260 and 6.5. I've not personally owned a 338 but I have taken everything from a 45 pound coyote to a 2,000 pound Eland with my 300 WM. The reason I've used that gun on so many hunts is because it has always shot well for me and you can move around on bullet weight and trajectory to tailor it to the hunting situation. My suggestion would be that you spend a bit extra on the brand or build of the rifle to make sure whatever you buy is a quality firearm. That does not necessarily mean you need to buy a custom build. The rifle I referred to above is an off the shelf Steyr a guy talked me into 25 years ago. Best of luck with your decision process. [/QUOTE]
