[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1699716, member: 86754"] Hey Mem- yeah, I got to thinking how I just didn't want to take either it or its identical one in .270 out into the weather. Well, the 338WM seemed like a bit too much at this stage of my hunting life, really. Plus it was the fact they both had just gorgeous bluing/wood and I didn't want to swap out a synthetic stock or have either cerakoted. Then, I thought about that Mesa I had handled awhile back...love at first handling, ha. I felt I could cover everything I'll ever hunt again with the 300WM and this is a quality, semi-custom all weather rifle. I am happy big time. If I were going back to Africa, or wanted to use a lot of oil/wax and watch then real close, I'd of kept them both. I am also getting into the mindset of using and making memories with just one rifle as my opportunities are thinning out now, ha. They were both wonderful rifles, but I had more rifle assets than money, so sold what I had to buy/set up myself in the 300WM. I got the Mesa, a new Vortex 1.5x8, dies (had some 20 yrs ago, gave them to a friend with a 300wm.) Barnes 150TTSX, Hornady 150SST, Nosler 150PT and a 170pcs new brass! Soon as I get "released: by the Hip doc on Sept 9 I'll start heading tot he range! :) [/QUOTE]
