Sorry to hear about your situation latts. Just know that someday, whichever one you sell, everything will turn out and you will be able to get a new one. For hunting out west, I think I would hold on to the .338 mag, in case you ever decide to go after big bears, maybe elk or moose. The 7RUM will do it, but bigger bullets are a plus in my opinion. Hopefully everything will turn out good for you.
