It was not my intentions to question the OP, or anything, I just was curious, why he was compelled to get rid of his 300win, for an ultralight '06. There really isnt any advantage of the ultralight '06 over a 300win in standard weight, recoil is going to be about the same, its going to cost alot, and it, and your wallet are now lighter,lol. As I said before, if he wants to buy it for the sake of it, more power to him, I'm all about more guns. As to the idea of having just one rifle, I think its an excercise of compromise, doing many things ok, but nothing great. If you are set on an ultralight rifle, get the 280 rem(7mm express), keep the 300win, and use them for two different purposes. The lightweight for when you are going to do alot of walking and stalking, the 300win for stands and things. I know, this goes against some peoples logic, so flame away. Its not my money.
