Thanks joel I appreciate the pics. I'm not a fan of the large flutes either. I think I'll get the small.

Dave I see where you're coming from but it's just that I have those rifles. I have rifles for every occasion. Most of my big game hunting is done for wt in the eastern woods and 90% of the time I use my model 7 308. This rifle I plan to use for elk and hunting public land walking a lot. That Nula you had sounded like a bad azz gun. The bolt I have has been opened up to lapua mag bf. As for the 270....we won't go there.

Before I saw these replies I moved this to the hunting rifles section. Thanks again
