[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1231904, member: 90399"] A few days ago I got a good deal on a little lightweight 7mm-08. It's 5.5lbs without the scope. I don't know what it is about my brain, but even before I got home from picking it up I was already thinking of rechambering it to 284 Win... or 280 AI... Shouldn't I just be happy with a 7mm-08? Not every rifle I own needs to have excessive recoil and muzzle blast right? But for some reason I feel like I just got a new 883cc instead of the 1200cc you know? I keep talking myself out of rechambering it to a more powerful cartridge by using all of the pragmatic reasons I can think of to keep it as is.... but then sometime later when I'm not expecting it, I'll realize I've spent the last 30 minutes thinking about modifying the chambering again! I should just keep it a 7mm-08 right? Yes... Yes... I should... I mean, that is the practical thing to do here... ...but maybe not....? [/QUOTE]
