Agreed that if one wanted flexiblity the 8MM Mag could stand in for the 338WM without problems.The only concern would be bullet style/weight options--

A flexible setup would seem to be 300H&H, 8mm Mag, 375H&H for stateside efforts up to bear--

and having the additional option of 416 Rem and 458 Lott barrels would handle african DG situations as well.

Interesting 5 barrel combo to hunt most big game with!!
