Roger that
some of us were using 300 Win Mags, 300 & 340 WBY's before the 300 Rum appeared, then we switched to the bigger dog, I had my gunsmith rebuild my 1st 300 RUM with a longer barrel and chambered in a 300 Rum Improved, it was a gunboot ATV carry rifle only, but worked very well off a bi-pod to shoot across valleys

The Sako in 7.82 Warbird shot so freakin good I wasn't gonna chop it up back then, it also was an easy carry rifle for hiking up the bumps on the map, was why I used it so much
