[QUOTE="Imho, post: 508120, member: 32070"] I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure. I think I'm going to run into problems with OAL and magazine length with the .300 WBY or RUM. Ideally I'd like to stay with the standard shank long action and magnum bolt head. The RUM bolt head uses a different controlled feed and ejector arrangement and I don't think there is a WSM/RUM bolt head in a long action, at least not off the shelf (my only option). From a purely aesthetic point of view the step-down on the large shank barrel doesn't do much for me either. On top of that I've been reading about very short barrel life for both the WBY and RUM. If it truly is 200-300 rounds then it's probably not an option for me. Maybe the .300WM is a better option, although I was looking for something "different". Any guidance would be appreciated.
