[QUOTE="Pistol packer, post: 531522, member: 34702"] a very unusual query. i understand the model 70 usage here, i have several and they are greatly underappreciated for their accuracy. with my limited expertiese in gunsmithing, i have all of them shooting in the .25 in group or less. the cartridges you chose is somewhat puzzling. if i had only three rifles to hunt anything in the world-i would want something bigger on the upper end. a 500 a square. the rigby case is the weatherby case w/o the belt, a great plus from my point of view. the 10,000 ft lbs is a definite plus in "dangerous game" circles. i would also choose the RUM as my base case for either the 300 or 338 for their case capacity and no belt. a smaller caliber on one end and a larger one at the other opens up the possibilities and covers much more possible problems on a 3 gun battery. the 300, 338 and 375 are too close to cover "every possibility". especially in the dangerous game world. 6.5/284, 300 or 338 RUM, 500 A-square, now that covers a lot of "possibles".
