[QUOTE="Idaho Hunter1, post: 1994309, member: 110057"] We have had members of our family hunt and kill dozen of elk with a 300wby for decades and never had an elk walk off. Always shot them with Wby factory ammo in 180grns in the Barnes bullets. Range was 30yds out to 800ish. All done with the old wooden stock Japanese version that it sounds like you have. Your rifle will work like a dream. As for weight, I’d try to lose a few pounds myself before I worried about a pound on the rifle. In percentages, that 1-1.5 pound reduction is the difference in the water retention from your sweat in the coat your wearing. Over rated! If you were doing an extended backpack hunt and everything else in the world was skimmed down, then maybe I could advise to spend the money. Instead I’d spend the money on upgrading your glass, and ammo to practice with. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
