500 grains,

As long as we are going to get into religon, I BELIEVE that the Holy Grail should be available to ALL, without having to go into debt. The options you mention (all very desirable & worthy) are very expensive.

Most choices in life are compromises....and the current Model 70 maybe the most affordable best compromise available, with the Ruger & CZ models in 2nd & 3rd place.

NE450No2,

The Blasers are NICE.....but NO Holy Grail! Your combo of 300 Win/375 H&H is almost "ideal" , but it is only one gun and changing the barrels is NOT always an option. A very good compromise but NOT the Holy Grail .
