I have a bit of a dilemma that is rattling my little pea brain. First off, I'm a Savage guy - no apologies. I currently have:
1. Model 112 FSAK in 300 win mag & 4-ish boxes of Barnes 165 gr TTSX that shoots ragged hole, but it a tad heavy & has a blind mag, which I do not prefer.
2. SS Lightweight Hunter in 6.5 Creed & 12-ish boxes of Hornady ELD-X ammo that shoots moa that I love spot & stalking with.
3. Model 110 Ultralight in 6.5 PRC & 4-ish boxes of Hornady ELD-X ammo that shoots 1/2" and is my favorite gun.
All are topped with Trijicon Accupoints Green Mildot scopes.
Here's my dilemma. I want to drop back to only 2 rifles. I would love to get an Ultralight in 300 WSM, but they are not available. Ammo is stupid if they were.
Would you dump the 300, Creed & associated ammo to fund a lightweight rifle & ammo in a heavier caliber OR just hold out for a swap to become available for the PRC to WSM in the Ultralight and then scrounge for ammo. Either way, it will be an expensive proposition.
I mostly hunt whitetail in Virginia with the occasional 400-500 yard opportunity. Try to get to NM yearly for an elk hunt. That's why I am looking for a little extra oopmh. I appreciate your feedback.
