    Those 130gr VLD's might be spook & splat at close ranges out of that WSM. Could be a tad explosive

    My Long ranger on a budget... 7mmRemMag, It will get the Optilocs / 3-9x40 Zeiss R600 from my 6.5x55 T3... I am tossing up weather or not I do a stock swap - I bought this version as I intended to put the wood on my 6.5 and the synthetic on to this one... Not so sure now...

    Leave the wood on the Magnum Tim, as its more likely to get beat up on your bush hobbit rifle.
