[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1238537, member: 8873"] After carrying my 25 pound ELR rifle around in the mountains of Colorado for a week last year this statement doesn't seem too far fetched.:D But I'm gonna do it again this year. The first time I get to smack an elk with that dude it'll all be worth it. I see rifles like some see trucks and hot rod cars. Some guys just want more power, if for no other reason than they can. So I say if that's what you're into and you have the money then go for it! The difference is that you hardly ever hear someone say you don't need all that horsepower in a car...most guys will say "Hell yeah, that's bad A!" To me it's the same thing, you are into what you are into. I don't need anything more than a .308, but where's the fun in that. The step from your .300 Weatherby to .338 (Lapua or Edge or whatever) isn't huge, but still a step up. Going from your .300 to an improved .408 case necked down to .375 or .338 is a leap...not a step. And yes it is a leap in everything, including price. [/QUOTE]
