Ok, found the thread on SH and am working my way through it. Epic!
I am coming to the realization that I should just do a "faux Xtreme Hunter"; Bartlien #3 fluted, Manners stock, Rem short action, Timney CE trigger.... still not sure DBM is the way to go for me, I've never had a DBM bolt gun... but I'm getting there <g>... do you guys feel the extra COAL is necessary? I could get 2.925" with a Wyatt's box.
Just make your Kimber WSM a switch barrel!
Or take it on a hunt somewhere or for something you've never hunted...
Don't you start in with that whole "voice of reason" thing again!
Can't argue with your logic, I really can't. However, as much as I like my Kimber it's a little light for ME to get the full potential out of the cartridge. And my other 7 WSM is a heavy carry. I will be packing it this fall for high desert mulies again, but if I can match what the heavy 7 can do, but in a midweight package.... that'd be cool.
I can write off the build as a shop expense ("learning a new type of machining", right?).... so that helps. But in the end, I just love to play with rifles. It's a disease.
