4x is fine. Not a biggest fan of Weaver scopes. For being a 4x, their 4x scope is big. They list the scope weight between 9 and 10 oz. But when you look at the fixed Weaver 6x38, it lists at over 15 oz. That listed weight might not be correct. With its length and objective size, 9 to 10 oz...

.......................There`s all kinds of 338s to choose from. I just happened to go for the really big gusto in the Accumark. If recoil was by chance your issue using your 338 W/Mag shooting the heavier bullets, the brake although louder, does reduce the felt recoil. If you`re gonna own a...

...................Such dilemmas uh? I also have a 300 WSM and a 375 Ruger Alaskan. Several months ago I went went with a 338 to fill the void between the two. Imo, a 280 AI and 7mm Rem mag overlaps too much with your 300 WSM. If you`re inclined to hunt deer sized and on down smaller game in...

................You by chance a descendant of General Custer? :lol: :lol: If so I can understand your sentiment.

Since you already have a Tikka in a 300 WSM and if you have good experiences with it, then go with another in 270 WSM. Setting their reputation for very good accuracy aside, I`ve never been a fan of detachable magazines nor have I been a fan of Tikkas smaller ejection opening. Prefer a nice...

Joel.............All bullets that have been mentioned so far will work just fine. Among the 400+ head of game killed, mostly hogs over the past 44 years, that also includes 10 bull elk. The brand and type of bullet you use, will depend really on what effect you wish to have internally within the...

......................Yep! He may be a Nosler forum member and just might read all of the above comments. If I were part of the trade deal and read all the comments, then I`d withdraw from the deal and keep my 270 WSM.

...........................That is a real tempting proposition imo. Ask yourself this.....Based on the type of game, the terrain, and average shooting distances which you have done, now do, and will do or can foresee, is there anything that a 270 WSM can do better than a 308? For flatter...

........................Yep. 338 is a doing fine. Playing with H1000 and Retumbo using the Hornady 225s. Next on the list is to get some 300 gr Berger VLDs and do some loadings with those. That thing is loads of fun. Always seems to attract a few spectators from their benches for some strange...

..................Only a 3" difference in barrel length. Losing 65 fps (or 21.66 fps per inch) should not be surprising. My `lil 300 WSM Ruger compact, only lost on average from 16.4 to 19.5 fps per inch of shorter barrel length when using the same identical loadings vs two other 24" barreled...

................Then I`ll take that as a compliment..... :lol: But let`s forget about my long ranged hammer sitting in-between the 300 WSM and 375 Ruger either....... :lol:

......................You`d be surprised at just how well balanced the Alaskan is. Yep! She`s good looking. It is basically a stainless/laminated stock version of the Ruger African. Same mechanics and same OAL as the African, just in a different flavor.

................Careful there! My Ruger Alaskan with the silly Hogue stock and stubby 20" barrel might take things personal. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Doing a side by side chrony comparison between my Alaskan and my friend`s longer barreled African using his Hornady 270 gr factory ammo in...

..........The 4x FX2, the 1-4x20 VX2 and the 2-7x33 VX2 would also make an excellent choices on a 7/08 Frontier. For deer and assuming the user does their part, that little rifle even with its 16.5" barrel will have no problems @ 300-400 yards. That new 3x Leupold and the 1-4x20 would help keep...
