Default RE: New Rifle Recomendations

Hi Moose:

I was in the same pickle as you and the advice BBJ and Bulls gave you is awfully close to what I ended up with. I had a shot at a NIB SAKO 75 300 RUM for cheap, and it got away from me. I ended up with the .300 I had, .45-70 marlin and a SAKO .416. As a matter of fact, I have been trying to decide fortwo months whichwill accompany me on the pack-in elk hunt this year. FWIW, I love the .416 and if big game is on the menu, the only round that might be more versatile is the .416 Rigby. If you already have the .300, don't waste your time considering a .338.

Good luck,
CE
