Not really because I can’t decide. 17 WSM would be nice but Savages just don’t do it for me. Nothing on the new side maybe Winchester 70 but sure on the caliber. I’m in a holding pattern until something comes along.

Good looking rifle. I have a 25-06 Sako that I bought in 1986 and it shoots lights out. 25-06 is a deer killing machine.

Flip a coin, they are both great cartridges. I was thinking about a Whelen but I’ve been reading on the 9.3 and really like it also. If going out of the country I say the 9.3 plus I believe in Africa you can buy the ammo over the counter if it gets lost on the trip.
