Hey all, I currently own a 7mm WSM, and to date, have killed everything I've shot at with it, including deer, bear and a bull elk.But I'm looking for something with a bit more 'oomph' to it for longer shots. The elk I shot was a shade under seventy yards, so I'm concerned that a longer shot may take some of the starch out of the round by the time it gets there. I hear a lot of good things about the .308, including the fact that it is pretty comparable to the 7mm in terms of ballistics. I'm pretty interested in the .308 Ruger Gunsite Scout, and I've read that its a pretty functional rifle.Any opinions?
why 338 edge and not just 338wm?

People love to say Lapua but the fact of the matter is, both the Edge and Ultra are faster but what does that matter when a animal is taking a hit from any of the three, dead is dead. The .338 Win Mag is plenty the rest is just the rest.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
