    cheers for all the advise guys.
    yes I have a 7mm Saum & 284

    This year I did fell a bit under gunned tbh that's just my opinion. I lost a good stag which I hit in the front shoulder obviously never found so cannot say 100% it was but im sure of the shot.
    my mate also shot a good stag with my 284 at 450M hit it and dropped a few minutes later it was up and walking 2 shots later it was down 2nd wasn't the best placement as it was moving.
    at a guess the stag we recovered would have been 130-140kg gutted with head off.

    I have shot 2 300 rums now and taken a stag one and it hit like a freight train.
    I have also seen at 338 edge at work with the same result.

    instead of building something im going to hold out and wait for something 2nd hand to pop up hopefully save a bit of coin if it doesn't work out I will on sell it.
    199p, chainsaw and Micky Duck like this.
