[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 909800, member: 30902"] I'm basing that on what he's told me is readily available in Turkey. Yes I've shot the 8x68s. I spent a good bit of time in Europe in my younger days. Ballistically the the 8x68s simply cannot compete with the 300wm and he shoots in some big open country from ridge to ridge and at elevations where wind can be a big factor. Flatter shooting and higher BC bullet offerings simply make the 300wm the better and more logical choice. It's not a popularity contest, just trying to help a friend make the best possible decision because there's a lot of money involved. Over here if I pick up a rifle/caliber and decide it just doesn't suit me it's easy to get rid of it and not lose much in the process and buying the next one is easy and only as expensive as I make it. I can also buy basically an unlimited amount of Ammo any time I choose to and do it at prices that are a fraction of what he has to spend and he's very limited on the number of rounds he's allowed to buy by law. I'm just being respectful and thoughtful of his needs and limitations. [/QUOTE]
