[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 751513, member: 30902"] Both are good rifles. I actually like the XCR stock and with a little stiffening it could be a great stock. Neither models comes with a long barrel so you'll not be able to burn all of that powder for either load so there's going to be a lot of blast, noise, and muzzle flash. Another thing I'd say you need to consider is that both of these rifles come in at under 9lbs so recoil on either in the calibers you list above is going to be pretty darn nasty even with a good muzzle brake and recoil pad. Personally I'd step back down to the 300wm in the Remington or 300wby/300wm in the Mark V if you are going to go with a rifle this light. [/QUOTE]
