[QUOTE="Yoshie, post: 490538, member: 32609"] rscott5028: I will mainly be hunting deer, antelope, and Aoudad sheep... I would go on an occasional elk hunt, but it would be at closer ranges im sure (500 and in?). long time long ranger: I have heard that about a 7mm, its reassuring to hear it again! Would the 300 RUM be that much of an improvement compared to the 300 wby? trebark: You would assume correct, I would like to keep it as cost effective as possible without sacrificing too much accuracy and power. I am interrested in your second suggestion. What would all be involved with chambering the new barrel to 300 RUM? would i need a new bolt / extractor? and is it worth the extra cost/work(if there is any) to make it a 300 RUM? If i went with the 'light custom' approach, i was thinking about these components: -Bell & Carlson Medalist Weatherby Style Stock for Vanguard with Aluminum Bedding -28" .308 cal Stainless Krieger barrel, fluted with a muzzle break in a 1-11 twist (this would allow me to shoot the heavy 210 bergers) -Rifle Basix 12oz - 1.5lb trigger Im not set on any specifics (manufacturer length contour etc). would you guys have any ideas? thanks so much for the help!
