While mine is still under construction here in Texas, I would vote for the .300 Jarrett.

Have had a brace of 30-8mm mags. Great cartridge.
That being said,the 24" 300WSM is the way I'd fly.....................

That being said,the 24" 300WSM is the way I'd fly i can see the logic of the wsm, and given the budget to play around and make it into the rifle i wanted, i'd do it... got an old push feed winnie put back..... looks like hell... been there, or close..... weaver T10 on top... i got too many rifles today, and just about any one of them would serve for the rest of my days.... if i got to choose, give me a .308.....

Love my 300H&H, but my go to gun is a stainless Model 7 in 300SAUM. And for fun a 30-40 Krag, gotta love that slick Krag action.

What about the .30 Rem, and .30 Carbine. No love? But seriously, If forced to choose, I'd go .308 or .30-06. I figure they'll be around awhile. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

either the 300 win or better yet the 300 weatherby
anything less and your not taking full advantage of the 30 cal, anything larger and your burning a good deal more powder but gaining velocity at a noticably slower rate (efficiency falls off rapidly past the 300 wby case)

'Stick, Just got back on the 'puter since my last post. Yep, the LTR is a fun shootin SOB! It's just a "fun gun" for me. Got to reading about snipers, and had to have a "sniper rifle" Havn't shot this one past 100 yds. but, it'll put 5, 168 Sierras into 5/8" at that distance. Gotta get it out to longer ranges and see what it will do. Have a 4.5X14-50mm Loupie, with dot reticle mounted on it. With the 3" sunshade on the 50mm AO, it LOOKS like a sniper rifle! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Virgil B.
