[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1230554, member: 86754"] That Strata in 300Rs post was nice! I'd take either the 6.5x284 or the 280AI, that way there is not that much recoil to tame down in shooting prone,etc. and not much chance of gutting a good scope! BUT...$5000 all up, wow! That's an African Plains Game hunt, ha! The "Scot" part of my "Scots-Irish" DNA comes out from time to time,ha. I just got my Mod 700 (recently converted to magnum cartridges & rebarreled to 358 Norma) back from my smith. it has a brake, a #3 Shilen and is set in a Brown Precision High country synthetic, pillar bedded. With a Nikon 4x12 on it it weighs in about 8#, that's a good weight for me. As mentioned earlier, that first custom LWT I had by MatchGrade Arms in 340w weighed 5# before scoped! Too much 'sugar for a dime", it was a scope killer. But, when rebarreled with a slightly heavier barrel to 338 win and just ported, also came in close to 8# and was a shooter. [/QUOTE]
