Very interesting thread when compared to the "LR is everything" sort of threads a couple of years back (over there)
People were obsessing about 50 extra fps like it was the difference between life and death and carrying 20lb 26+inch cannons in the bushnow it seems to be swinging back pretty far the other way and everybody is throwing away all the powder and power you chose and paid for?
As above - surely you have a bush gun or 10? Keep it / sell it / rebarrel it - but a 18/19 inch barrel wsm just sounds silly to me. The 19 inch .243 was a bad enough flame thrower / general antisocial pig of a thing, but a short WSM would surely be horrible?
As it is = very glad I never got on the LR bandwagon (Scout now has a 7/08 little sister is about as close as it gets)
