I sold a rifle to a young man today that wanted a big magnum. I sold him a customized .338 Win Mag, built for the mountains. I offered him a .270 WSM initially, but he already had a .300 WSM and said it just didn't have the knockdown power that his .300 Win Mag had, and he wanted something bigger than the Win Mag anyway. This rifle will do him well, and I hope he enjoys it for sure... but I sure don't feel under-gunned with my .30-06.
