C_ROY, I will definitely check out the wilderness. Weatherby rifles have always appealed to me. It's funny how we always overthink rifles so that the factory offerings are not quite good enough. The wilderness seems perfect except I wish it were stainless. That 25 ounce weatherby style stock in stainless #2 barreled action would be great. I' wish the howa Barreled actions were more readily available. If anyone knows of a stainless standard sporter weight 22 inch barreled action in 270 or even better 308 or 7mm 08 for around 500 please let me know. I just can't picture a howa/vanguard stainless barreled action in a mcmillan sucking. If I can get the barreled action for 500 and the mcmillan for around 550 that would work.
This buying a "nice" rifle is just a scratch I have to itch.
