I have one in 7mm Rem.Mag. and like it a lot.
Guess I'm fishing for information as to 'why' the .338 version might not be the best choice vs. the 700 in .375 ULTRA I also have.
Maybe some day I won't want the ULTRA's extra punch, not to mention the ammo is an instant dinosaur ( I won't be handloading anytime soon... ).
I'd like to know the particular reasons a BAR isn't the best choice for hunting in freezing, snowy, inclement weather.
Thought it might help to have the explanations for others on the forum, not just myself.
Thanks for the help!

ETA: ancient pic of said BAR/7mm Rem.Mag. I'd like to put the nice wood stock back on this one and save the Bell&Carlson stock for the possible .338 project.
