[QUOTE="straightshooter, post: 181647, member: 9775"] Thanks Buffalobob for the kind words. Up till I started visiting this sight I was planning a 308 build (just so darn cheap to shoot). I have always wanted a 300 wsm, just thought it was to much for practicing with. After hearing the advice here and how so many were suggesting a 338 of some type the 300 wsm didn't sound so bad after all. I know that 1000 yard elk hunting is out with this cal, but I sure can practice on paper that far, and I wont be long distance elk hunting without a whole lot of practice. I feel a lot better elk hunting with a 300wsm than with a 308. I do plan on shaping the stock to my grip but I want to shoot it for a while first. I don't like that the stock has a monte carlo shape cheek rest. I don't know how I am going to get a good fit with it, all stocks seem to be to low for my natural hold. [/QUOTE]
