[QUOTE="topwater225, post: 195271, member: 6315"] [b]STW or WSM[/b] I don’t want or mean to hi-jack this thread, but it has some really good info that pertains to my dilemma which is oh, so closely related…….. I also have a new build coming which I picked the 7STW. However, I am still wavering back and forth between the STW and the WSM. My reasoning eliminates the RUM from my choices, because IMO......relating to my purposes....the STW is over-bore, but the RUM is way over the top. I don’t want the extra recoil, so I set the upper limit to the STW. My intention is to use this rifle as my primary hunting rifle and also a lot of long range shooting (for fun, clubs, competition). I also do not intend to shoot any lighter bullet than 160gr. The 175 and 180 grain will be the “norm”. My dilemma also stems from the fact that I have had an STW and been around other STW’s and they were NOT what I would consider “tack-drivers”, but they were all factory rifles – my rifle being a Weatherby. I love the speed, but my instinct keeps telling me to go with the proven accuracy of the WSM. This would also eliminate the belt - Which is actually not a huge issue. What da ya think? [/QUOTE]
