[QUOTE="Buano, post: 482699, member: 21641"] Switch barrel guns are always a possibility but there will always be trade-offs that I don't want. You can make a 7mm quite light & still be able to shoot it fairly well, the same can't be said for anything in the .340 Weatherby class. The big shells require a fair amount of mass in the rifle to tame the recoil — even with a muzzle brake. If you make a switch-barrel for these 2 cartridges, it will likely be heavier than you want for your 7 mm backpack rifle. With 2 rifles you have a back-up that can be ready to go if something happens to the gun you were hunting with. This can save an expensive hunt. [/QUOTE]
