[QUOTE="257WTBY, post: 2242380, member: 56428"] I drive a 2005 dodge diesel. I love that truck and I plan to drive it till I am not driving anymore. Im that way with a gun custom or otherwise. I bought a 340 WTBY in 1991 and it has stacked up the elk. When it comes down to it I grab my 340 and go in my old pick up because that is what I know works. I hunt multiple states about every year but I never guess what rifle I am taking. Do I take a custom with me most of the time yes you know its a two gun case. I waited 11 years one time to draw a tag I really wanted. I loaded up to go and I took my 338 Lapua and my 340WTBY. I was elk hunting and wanted to shoot a whopper. I figured any really nice elk I was taking him 0-800 yards no problem. Well I carried that heavy @ss Lapua with that telephone pole long barrel for first three days. I said enough is enough I ended up taking my 340 on the fourth day cause its only 9lbs. Shot my biggest bull to date with it at 491 yards I didnt once have to look at the little cheat sheet taped onto the Lapua I'd shot my 340 enough at 500 I knew the number of clicks by heart bang one and done. I own several custom rifles as well. I shoot them a good bit 700-1000 rounds a year or so. I have been having them built with the same McMillan stock - action and trigger Ive tried various manufactures barrels tho. I guess I am not into all the new PRC or other new calibers much. Is there anything wrong with them I doubt it everyone has to get one. I figure it this way there isnt a animal walking in N America that cant be killed with my 340. I love a butter smooth action and fine lines just as much as the next guy. I see a new truck and say wow that is nice. Do I need it no, do I want it yes, is what I have not working no, do I want to pay for that new pick up or maybe buy a new rifle custom or otherwise??? I wouldnt put down a new custom rifle or need for one cause each person has their own wants and needs. I think also its kind of a hay day for the new 500-1200 dollar guns. I guess my last question is will the animal know it was shot with a off the shelf rifle or a 10K custom? I'd also say if you dont practice and get proficient neither one is goona work the way it should. Good luck shoot what makes you happy [/QUOTE]
