hard to beat a 308 but if you already got one in a turn bolt then spice it up man ! The Medallion is a great gun no doubt. But if Purdy is what your after, you won't beat a Winchester Model 70 especially in the Supergrade. They are FINE. I ought to be horse whipped for selling my 6.5 Creed Supergrade. I've never seen prettier wood on a rifle costing 10 times that. The Walnut blanks of that grade alone run over what that gun cost. Deep bluing, fine, fine rifle. But locating one in a short action is hard. I've been looking.
