    Recoil question

    Hmmm, I shoot both the -06 and the 300 win,and I think the others here have pretty well covered it. You arent going to have a hunge amount of recoil from a 10 pound 300 win. I had a 10 lb 300 Ultra that still had a little punch to it but it was'nt enough to keep me from shooting it often. My...

    Any Elk hunting advice or tips for me??

    This all depends on if your rifle or archery hunting,most states do not run their rifle season during the rut,and if this is your case stay away from buggling!

    Airborne, My 2 cents would be get the 300 win.I have been shooting one for about 15 years now and actually have two of them now,I have taken critters with it from 15 feet-700 yds this being everything from deer to bear. The 300 win is easy to find rounds for and easy to re-load and not to bad...

    $1,000 LR rig

    The mil dots I have used are for range estimation and keep inmind at longer range some thicker crosshairs tend to cover some of your target up(sometimes too much)so this is another reason the mil dots are popular as well,they are made for longer range and seem to cover less of your target.

    $1,000 LR rig

    Hey All, If I were only hunting long range I like the mil dot styles but if you ever hunt in the timber or ever think you might be using the rifle for other hunting besides long range you tend to loose the reticles in low light.
