.300 WM or .338 LM... Can only keep one. Which to sell?

[Barnard308]

Use the 308 for most of your shooting now, keep the 338 so when life settles down for you and you get your free time back youll have a rifle that will challenge you for distance you only dream of right now.

Do you have access to the moon? If so keep the .338, as it is perfect for shooting ALR , or as it is known in big bore circles, astronomically long range.

I would keep the 300mag just about do anything the 338 will and the sake is a much nicer rifle than the savage! My .02!!

Hey all. Really appreciate the advice. I won't make the decision in the brand of the rifle but rather the cartridge. I mean if I decide to not keep the .300WM Sako, I could use that money to buy an equally high end rifle in another calibre.

.260 rem or 6.5 creedmoor has been suggested, to keep with a .338 to use at some point in the future

Look into a Remington 5r mil spec. The new gen 2 comes in a 260 or 300 wm, and the gen 1 in a 300 wm (I have one). They do come in other cartridges but those seem to be most applicable to you. The 338 does seem overkill for only 800m.

sell 308 and buy a safe so u can keep both.
