Default Opinions Please on New Gun Purchase

I am interested in a new gun in .300 WM or .300WSM. Bass Pro has a great sale right now on a Winchester M70 Coyote in .300WSM Stainless Steel w/ Laminate wood color stock.

I currently have a Winchester Model 70 Heavy Varmit with a SS fluted barrel in .308. I am looking for a different rifle because of the weight of my M70 in .308. The coyote model is a fairly heavy gun. It is about 1lb lighter than my M70 in .308 but about 1.5lb heavier than a feather weight.

The deal is that I think I am getting a really good price on it. It is listed at $729 but I was able to get a rain check for it at $449.

I like the gun but it isn't exactly what I am looking for because of the weight. But at the same time the price is definetly right.

What should I do?

Tom
