Keep talking Sniper 151, I like what you are saying--------I had another 700 in .300 WSM, stainless, black laminated stock, with a top of the line Leopold on it and let a wealthy retired dentist finally talk me out of it and had been desolate for several months and then, in the process of putting another gun on consignment, happened to spot this one in the rack. When they told me it was a .300 Win Mag, I told them to start the paperwork, they had just sold it. So basically, I got my .300 back, only in Win mag rather than short mag. It's now wearing a gold line Leopold and as I stated earlier, ready to go to the range. Yes, I'm very pleased---
