Amen. If it had to be a weatherby I'd take my 340 over the 300 wby. I'd take a 338 over the 340 though. I'd take a 300 win over the weatherby but would take a 30-06 ove the 300 win. So that leaves us with the 338 win or a 30-06, but I might take my 270 instead of the 30-06. I am glad I thats off my chest now!
Holy chit small fry, It sounds pretty fu cked up the way you put it, but that's exactly the way I feel. Except for the 300 win over the 300 WBY. That's just pure horsechit... .. All the rest of what you said is true though...
bsa1917hunter, the biggest "problem" I see with the 300 WM is the short neck. Though it makes it less flexible by design, in practice it hasn't hampered me much. You gotta give the 300 WM some slack, it is literaly the 338s entitled little brother and was born in spite of the 338
