[QUOTE="toddc, post: 732768, member: 4566"] If ya wanna play in the west its easier to have a tad longer tube and 150 yds more effective range than worry about 2-3" of barrel. Barrels are consumable. LR is not cheap any way you see it. Practicing and gettin used to a 308 in the long run will mean you then have to get used to a REAL GUN so it really costs more. Yes the nonmag 7s would be vastly preferable to a 308 but horsepower you can handle is nice. 2-3" of barrel doesnt weigh that much and trust me when I tell you that lightweight and LR are an oxymoron. A 7 shortmag would let you save some weight but learning to shoot is so easy with a lil heavier gun. I have a 32lb 338 I have had dozens of people kill deer over 750 with the 1st time they shoot it. Guys talk about how hard this stuff is...with the right tools and a monkey to pull the trigger this is easy. Wrong tools=a real biatch for anyone. [/QUOTE]
