[QUOTE="savage1756, post: 1070239, member: 88681"] Hi All, I have an older model Savage Model 10 in .308 w/ a heavy Varmint barrel. I'm looking into replacing the "Tupperware" stock possible with a laminate or Bell& Carlson with an upgrade to a CDI magazine and possibly a brake. I know, .308's don't recoil that bad but its a long story. As I've been researching all of this I keep thinking about the 300 WSM cartridge for accuracy and a better round to shoot 1000 yds. I know the .308 is capable of this. I may have the opportunity to hunt in Colorado in the future so I was adding that to the mix as well. In your opinions would you stick with the .308 or would you dive into changing barrels & bolt head and continue the other changes. One thing I'm not sure of is will I lose the box magazine if I go to 300WSM? What I'd like is....ability to shoot target 1000 yds for fun not competition. Future hunt in Sothern Colorado near Monte Vista [/QUOTE]
