I'm not into it as much as you guys, don't even understand the lug stuff, like to give my opinion though.
I have a weatherby 300 mag Euromark, it has a beautiful wood stock that I love. It really shoots great. I also have a weatherby 270 mag ultra lightweight. This gun shoots just as good if not better than the 300 mag. I don't want to get into the animals killed by the two but have been using them on med to large game in the States and Canada for the last ten years at least two hunts per year. I would buy another and would recommend them to anyone. Never shot a Sako, and if I had gone that route I probably would be happy with it also. I love these two Weatherby's. Just good shooters.
