[QUOTE="Brent, post: 51642, member: 99"] Vince narrowed it down pretty well. Just my two cents for what it's worth, the Lapua was shortened from the original so they gutted the power capability, but for accuracy this is possibly the best choice. The RUM was also shortened and the same is true of power potential there, for now the brass is the worst. The 338/378wby is king of the factory chamberings for LR period, and accuracy should be great too. I doubt you could go wrong with one of these. I can't stand the looks of their rifles myself but some people LOVE them. For the money I would buy the Ruger MKII Magnum in 416 Rigby and save the barrel for later, have a 30+" Lilja custom 338/378 chambered barrel installed and go to the range. I rechambered mine to 416wby which is the same case and it feeds flawlessly with no modifacations in any way, and holds one more in the magazine than the Weatherby to boot and in my opinion is a much SWEETER looking rifle too. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
