[QUOTE="Nutjob, post: 394865, member: 10586"] Thanks guys for all the replies. Let me get help the conversation by getting a little more specific. I am very much thinking of getting rid of my .338 ultramag . So this .300 magnum would replace it as my "Big" rifle. Also, I have no need for another competition rifle. This would be purely for hunting. I might go to 9.5 lbs but that would be the absolute limit as I often travel steep ground at altitude. I have been impressed with ability of the Remington CDL stock with the R3 pad for moderating the recoil of my buddies .300 Weatherby. His Weatherby is an older 700 classic in a CDL stock and will shoot .3 " three shot groups @100 with 165 Barnes TSX. I have a line on both a .300 Weatherby and .300 Win Mag in a 700 classic. Both rifles have 24" barrels. I am also thinking on a Sako in a .300. I bought a Vixen 2 years ago and love the little rifle. Fantastic workmanship and accuracy with flawless functioning. (pretty much what I'm looking for in this rifle). Considering a L61R/AV in .300 win mag or a 75 or A7 in .300 win mag or .300 WSM or the Tikka in .300 WSM. I haven't had the pleasure of examining the Weatherby Mark V actions but I would be more tempted if they were in a Remington classic type stock as they fit me well. I understand that the Howa/ Vanguard is modeled after the older Sako AV/L61R. And the one in .223 I had was fine except the trigger. I have more questions concerning the Weatherby Mark V and Vanguard but I need to stop typing and post. So... to sum up. Which rifle?
