    @Moa Hunter I wasn't really asking for help with being able to shoot those distances. Was after input in the merritt between the two calibres in short barrel rifles. Until this year I had never bothered with rifles under 22in, a change in thought lead me too this.
    I had previously owned a 308 before my 300 and happily took animals with the 308 to 450mtrs. I can't be bothered with magnum rifles at the moment hence why I wanted input. And yes I am proficient with walking, closing distances is and always has been my preferred method. I just wanted to move away from an almost 10lb rifle. Looks like my new set up if I stay with the Bergara will be around 3.7-3.8kgs. So I have achieved that. Not as light as the tikkas but I like the feel more in both action and stock.
