[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1487638, member: 104437"] I "had" a beautiful Weatherby MK5 w/ German action, custom barreled 25" UN Braked, Glass bedded, .338 Win Mag that would, "clover leaf" 210 Noslers, 3 shots at 100 yds, (every year !) But it was, kinda heavier than I liked to carry far and recoiled more than, I could enjoy, ugh ! There is NO need ( IMHO) of anything bigger than, a .270 WSM or 7 Rem Magnum "class" cartridge, for "most" big game in No America like,.. Deer, Elk, Moose, Black Bears, etc. out to 7-800 Yards ! I shoot very well, NOW (no flinching and sub min of angle, over a Pack to 650 ! ) and my Tikka weighs just 7.5 Pounds,.. instead of 9.5 ! I now, shoot a LOT more and practice often, at variable ranges from 250 yds, over "sticks", to 650-700 yards Prone, over a Pack as, my portable Bench Rest is, a bit too heavy,.. to carry Moose and Elk hunting ! After load "work up" and Dial Verification the Bench rest,.. stays in the Garage ! [/QUOTE]
