[QUOTE="thwatson2, post: 2094117, member: 56839"] Just an opinion, but with your theory, why not make 50 bmg or 20mm length shooters and forget standard/ long action also. I have several SA rifles and mostly because I just wanted the particular caliber. I love my 308s and my all time favorite SA 220 swift. Why? cant tell you that, just because. Yes they are shorter and lighter than my 300 mag and shorter than my 50 bmg but in certain situations they fit the bill. I’m not a big fan of reasoning over efficiency. Yea I get it, but I love my 300PRC and it groups better than any of my SA rifles but it does weigh about 12 pounds on a diet, and my 45-110 tosses 550 grain bullets at 1450fps into MOA groups off of sticks. Not real efficient round but a blast to shoot. Bottom line, like all calibers we just want another reason to buy a new gun. At least that’s my reason. [/QUOTE]
