[QUOTE="Hard Head, post: 3005433, member: 91079"] I have had many of both, some were great shooters some were average, one of my most accurate was a Remington Classic in .300 Weatherby,24" barrel this rifle loved IMR 7828 and Sierra 180's in a boat tail. Velocity was 3247,no pressure and very small sd's. Conclusion .....Rifles are like women, some drive ya nuts ,some are the average and some seem to be on steroids ,this one was as on steroids and I wish I would have kept her ,but you have to find out what she likes. In todays world buy one that's not of new design ,brass is much easier to find ,powder becomes a huge issue too, when companies charge in excess of 55 a pound and bullets are rare if you can find them under 45-50 per 100 while premium run 100 or more. someone is making big bucks and on an average it is a family man raising a family and trying to balance a checkbook , very hard for him to justify the cost. Choose wisely, remember that all that hoopla about a SUPER ALL DO IT CARTRIDGE is just good story writing, it may only beat a 50 year old warrior by 40 fps and when loaded to safe pressures and hunting barrel lengths that are the same there is not a Fart of gas different except factory ammo is around 100 bucks for 20 and hard to find, Pete [/QUOTE]
