[QUOTE="naja302, post: 1768738, member: 69437"] I have a 358 STA that I picked up at a gun show about 15 years ago for $800 and it included dies and brass (formed from 375 H&H). It’s a Winchester model 70 without the super lightweight and flimsy plastic stock and a 26” shilen barrel. (Basically somebody rebarreled a 7mm mag, or 300 or, etc) my gun is on the light side but I love it. It is also the hardest recoiling rifle that I own but I don’t exactly put hundreds of rounds through it at prairie dog towns either. I shoot 225g Barnes TSX at 3000 FPS. I have killed a moose and a buffalo and an oryx with it and I loaned it to a friend for an AK brown bear. The most impressive thing it did was on my buffalo (American bison). I hit it low and forward hitting the heart and breaking both shoulders. The bullet exited and the buff nose dived into the dirt. very strong round and mine matches my TDS reticle for easy compensation to 600 yards [/QUOTE]
