Way too many 300 WM's get sold because "I'm gonna go out west someday for elk" and they never leave the woodlot well east of the Mississippi.

Well said Teal. I believe this is exactly what made the 7 mag a success.
I think more people are guilty of that than care to admit it. Self included...
That's what I bought my first "new" rifle (also a 7mag) for instead of a used Browning Stainless Stalker .308 I had been eying for some time. It was a new Savage package gun with scope instead of used A-Bolt without a scope for the same price. Like everything, it cost more in the end. Cause the cheap POS scope barely lasted the first season, and went through another scope after that Before finally settlingnon the 1st gen Aetec it wears now.
