[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 278763, member: 704"] Even though I advocate buying rifles with different capabilities once I had that done I often double up and have a long range rifle and a light carry rifle. I have a 28.25 inch heavy barrel on a 300wm and a Browning A Bolt in 300wsm. Mostly I bring this up for a funny story. My wife bought me the 300wsm for our 32 anniversary 17 years ago. Anyway: I walked into 13th ave Scheels in Fargo when they still had sporting goods and asked if the had a 300wsm. The salesman says "what do you want it for", which means they don't have one and he wants to sell me what they have. I said "oh mostly deer". He says "deer! this is what you want". He shows me a stainless, synthetic, Winchester model 70 in 270win. I said "beautiful rifle and your right about it for deer I think". He says "want me to write her up for you"? I said "nope got one just like that". He frowns and says "then what do you want 300wsm for"? I said " I may want to take it elk hunting too". He says "well then this is the rifle you want". He shows me a Remington 700 Sendero in 300wm. I said "now that rifle makes me drool I like it so well". He says "want me to write her up for you". I said "nope got one just like it". Now he really frowns and says "then why do you want a 300wsm"? I said "do I need a reason"? He turned and walked away. I assumed that meant he didn't have one. [/QUOTE]
