[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1245322, member: 12995"] I am the same way, but not quite as long as Rose...I've had a love affair with the STW since I read about it in the Shooting Times Magazine when I was a kid. I bought my first one in 2002. But, like he said, nobody produces it in a factory rifle anymore. And you can't put thousands of rounds down one like other cartridges. Another one of my all-time favorites is the 7mm RemMag, but Remington doesn't offer them in the 5R line (maybe someday). While it is not my first pick of cartridge (I'm a wildcatter, I like wildcat, Ackley Improved, and obscure cartridges), the .300 WinMag will do what you want it to, and everything you are looking for. I am a bit different on the triggers... I refuse to mess with an X-Mark Pro trigger, I hate them. I immediately replace them with older Remington/Walker triggers that have been worked-over, or Timneys, or Jewells. As for the finish of the rifle, in all my years of hunting, I have never been busted by an anaimal for having a stainless rifle. I primarily hunt with stainless guns, and no issues. I have hunted with both blued and stainless guns, no issues. Most of my rifles are matte stainless. [/QUOTE]
