[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1360847, member: 52437"] only thing I don't like is the caliber selection. I already own a decent shooting 3006 (.75-1MOA) it is my lightest rifle and what I carry in woods where shots are under 200 yards. It has a pencil thin barrel so after 3 shots groups open significantly. If I'm sitting in a blind, prone, or a stand with a shooting rail I will bring my semi-custom built savage 7mm mag which consistently shoots .5MOA but dang that rifle is heavy (has a heavier contour barrel, not quite varmint but close). I was looking for a rifle to bridge the gap between those 2 rifles. Something I can carry on some longer hikes but still shoots lights out to 500 yards. Maybe id go with the 300 win mag because I simply have never owned one but this rifle appears to be on the lighter side and that might be punishment on my shoulder. I have no desire to own a 270 nor do I want to buy another 3006. I wouldn't mind another 7mm rem mag but again...if I'm going big why not get a caliber I don't have and go for the 300 winny...
