[QUOTE="375rifleman, post: 1115946, member: 80454"] Like the title says I've been thinking about building a big bore scout rifle. I'm looking for something that's a better stopper than my 300 Weatherby, my Weatherby is ok if you're going to sit all day with the rifle on sand bags unless something surprises you and you have to turn completely around, its too long and heavy for that. If I had a rifle that was more compact I wouldn't be limited to just a few stands. So far I've been able to make good enough shot placement as to the animal doesn't go over 60 yards but if I was more confident in a rifle stopping the animal in just a few steps after the shot all the better, that way I wouldn't have to worry about game finding a 30ft deep ravine.
