[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 394764, member: 505"] Winmag, Weatherby makes rifle lines in all price ranges but the big 30-378 wby and 338-378 wby that go well beyond the ultramags in performance are only offered on the big strong mk 5 action and cost the money for that top performance. I make all my wby mag cases out of standard magnums or buy remington 300 wby brass so brass cost doesn't bother me much except for the ones off the 378 case. But then they are about the same as the lapua's anyway. Like I said in another post the performance is out there but for a price. You can get about all the other wby mags in the vanguard for $399 and they shoot great. They will outshoot anything but the ultramags. Then you can go beyond the ultramags performance with a synthetic 30-378 or 338-378 for the price of a remington. Or you can step up to the cadilac Accumark which is in line with other premium rifles. I am with you and bent out of shape over the ammo prices but like I say if you reload you can get around that. Or like you say, do what I did and get a 300 wsm tikka that weighs 7 pounds 2 ounces scoped out only 150 fps behind the wby and is a great 600 yard rifle. Ammo is cheap and if you backpack like I do weigh a box of big magnums and a box of short mags and see which one you prefer to pack. [/QUOTE]
