lacks the extraction power of the two lug/90 degree bolt lift rifle
What does the two lug have to do with extraction power???? I mean with my 700 with the C ring I had horrible extraction. I had a Sako type spring extractor and could pull the rim off. Doesn't have to do with the lug design, uless you are talking about width of the extractor being at tad smaller on a three lug?

No I'm talkin' about mechanical advantage. You don't necessarily need it unless a case swells due to pressure, a rare occourance but that's what dangerous game rifles are all about.

Savage has WSM offerings in their lineup. I too was a bit wary of recoil, so I got a fairly heavy rifle, the 12FVSS for this reason. I go to the gym often and am in fairly good shape so I don't mind carrying a heavy rifle. Due to an old volleyball injury on my shoulder I do mind recoil though.

Remington and Browning are both accurate, trouble free rifles. I'm partial to Remington and the 7mm Rem. Mag. would be a very good choice with a bullet in the 160 to 175 grain weight
