Cool story Bob. That is kinda how I ended up with a 300WSM. I would have liked a Model 70 300 H&H but I was willing to sell any of my children for one. The 300WSM chambered in a Model 70 allows you some seating flexibility and the ability to attain some good speeds with regular 180 Noslers. I would still like the old 300, but for now, the WSM will get it done I think. Plus, they both seem to do well with 24" tubes too. Makes for a nice rifle for carrying all day.
