[QUOTE="Mountain Hunter, post: 556794, member: 37817"] I am just joining in on this now, only registered a few days ago. I have a hankering for one of these, Winchester EW, in this very calibre. I want a light all weather long range hunting rifle and I am partial to the .300 WM (would actually prefer a 30-338, but 300 WM would be more practical). I am interested in you overall impression, package weight, accuracy (with hunting bullets, I'm planning on 185 gr VLD and the 208 gr A-Max, interested to know what MV you can drive these out of the EW's 26" barrel) I like the pre 64 type action CRF but I am curious if the EW action (and magazine) is long enough to seat the 208 gr A-Maxs out far enough. hlobik, any impressions you'd care to share would be appreciated. I am thinking of a Leupold VX3 4.5-14x40 and replacing the stock with a McMillian Edge light to reduce a bit of weight. Want the package with bipod below 8.5 lbs Cheers, Mountain Hunter [/QUOTE]
