[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 817012, member: 11717"] It all depends on your wants and priority's. Based on your OP {I would like to make it out west a few times too for elk and antelope....I'm looking for a caliber that I'd be comfortable shooting and taking game out to 8-1000yds.} the 300 WM is probably the best choice. Based on your desire for a big 338, maybe that's the way to go. The 300 WM, is a very capable 1000 yd elk rifle. After that, it starts getting close to sub bullet opening velocity (1800 fps), depending on bullet and load. The EDGE will get you a couple hundred yards farther with a lot more smack. The RUM will actually get you farther ( almost a hundred yards) than the EDGE in bullet opening velocity if you use 3000 fps with 230 Hybrid and 2800 fps with the 300 OTM. However, the RUM will have significantly less barrel life, but the EDGE will be a little more spendy to shoot. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. [/QUOTE]
