I'll probably end up with three or four before it's all said and done. Hopefully not five!

I like the idea of W748 because of it's accuracy and versatility. But after some comments here, and some research, see that it won't be appropriate in the long, hot summers here.
Of course I don't really like to get out and shoot a bunch when the temps are high. And certainly don't like processing any game animal in the heat. So 748 is still in play.
