I have a SAW from WTO,,,, got it 6 years ago when I lived in TX mostly hunting in box blinds in TX… rifle is on the heavier side for field carrying ((A3 stock, Barlein REM varmint contour 20” barrel) All in the gun is 12,5 lbs. Shoots 162 ELDX great at 2750 fps… Shot several TX whitetail, axis, aoudad and wild hogs with it as well as Steel out to 800 yards.
Fast forward to now that I’m living in Montana and Moutain hunting,,, just had WTO spin up a 6XC switchbarrel on a Tikka t3x platform @8,5 lbs…I’m shooting 103 ELDX with the 6XC and enjoying spotting impacts. Just shot a cow elk two weeks ago. 6XC is ballistic twin of 6cm,,, I much more enjoy carrying the lighter Tikka T3x in the mountains.
Both cartridges shoot great, but going forward 6XC will get more time outside of gun safe,,,
