I decided to go for a .338 WM in a composite stock and stainless bolt action. Now is there a big difference between the leading manufactures. Kimber's are hard to get in my area I have to special order....Are they worth the extra money compared to a Ruger or say a Browning? Just looking for some advice from experinced. I have been shooting the same Browning 30.06 semi auto for about 15 years so this is a change for me. I had my Browning out west last year in the snow and ice on a backpack trip and the semi auto was a maintenace nightmare....thus the need for the switch.....
