Stick, good post... thanks. There was a guy at Saeed's whom I took to task as he maintained a 338 WM was no different recoil-wise than a 338 RUM... Lord. Some newbie who may be thinking of moving up from a 243 might read such rubbish and actually buy one! With your passion and experience you could almost "convert" me to a 338 RUM except I know I wouldn't handle the recoil well in an 8lb rifle... your light 375 Ackley... now that's intriguing. Actually, my next project will probably be a SS M70 with a Douglas #3 in 375 H&H, stocked in a High-Tech and scoped with a 1x4 Leo... should come in at 8 lbs "all-up."

<br>Hope you have a good season... antelope opens here Sunday, can't wait.
