Personally I like the KRB a lot better with less fooling around finding something that works.
From my point of view - I really do not care which rifle or manufacturer it is - your point is the number one point for you as it is or should be with each of us. This drives Undeclocked nuts - butI still think my Remingtons are the best gun I own including the White...
Sidenote... did you see my post on that elk I shot this year. This is the second elk with a ML for me (I have shot plenty prior but with a 300 Win Mag and a Nosler 200 grain Partition) and both of these ML elkwere good clean harvests. Since I have read several of your posts I have been worried that maybe I should also be shooting big conicals at elk, I like you hunt by myseld most often and at my age I have no wish to track for any distance at all. but so far the .458's are working.
I shot one big cow elk with a 348powerbelt and it keyholed (thanks to clearshot powder) went through the heart sideways and lodged in the farside ribcage. She walked 30yards and fell over. Shot another smaller cow with two 300 gr. bullets and she went over a quarter mile and I tracked in the rain and snow mixed. I prefer to have them drop where hit as I try to select sites that I can get my Samurai to. That was when I thought maybe I should be shooting heavier lead. Since then I bought a NEF huntsman, two White 97's , one White Thunderbolt, and finally got a U-Mag from the "chief". All .504's. In addition I added the KRB7so If I ever find time to wring them out I am sure that I can find one that will make me happy. I suspect it is going to be either the U-Mag or the KRB. My Omega has started throwing bullets all over. I think the front mounting lug is at fault as it can be turned side to side with the screw full tight. Have to decide how to fix that one. It was a tack driver with sabots at one time. It may be the synthetic stock that is contributing to the problem also as they are really flimsy compared with the KRB stock. Finally bought a torque screwdriver (man are they expensive).
