[QUOTE="lerch, post: 108389, member: 3115"] Well good luck making your decision. I know I will catch some serious crap for this but IN MY OPINION as a gun salesman who just wants to set people up with the best equipment I would try to talk you out of the weatherby. I dont have much of anything against the guns, hell i only have 2 trophy bucks on my wall and they were both killed by a 270 weatherby rifle. I have just heard some bad things about the guns and there is a definate price difference between them and a lot of other good guns. I like savage but they do feel a little cheap, they lack nothing in the accuracy department. If you are thinking about accurizing the gun or using it for a platform for a custom rifle I would say go with a rem and dont look back. If you decide to go with a factory gun go with the 300 RUM and load up some heavy accubonds. If you wanna go custom from the start and you really wanna start playing in the real long range game I would say go with the 7mm RUM and get a faster twist bbl and shot the 160 accubond or 200gr Wildcat ULD for game. Ask SS7MM about the power of a 200gr 7mm bullet spit out at a decent speed, serious thump. good luck steve [/QUOTE]
