[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1275715, member: 68875"] I have had my .300RUM since 1999 I think. Whenever they first hit the market. It was a factory rifle for years with the exception of an HS Precision stock...and a KDF brake. Recoil unbraked was "snappy" as some have mentioned. Uncomfortable was another word that came to mind. My 12 year old daughter used it to take her 1st bull elk. One shot was all it took, 160 yards, the elk was dead before it's head hit the dirt. It was the only shot she had ever taken with that rifle. Even though she had about 2000 rounds of Centerfire from .223 to .270Win under her belt. I have since upgraded it with a new barrel, stock, scope, etc. It now weighs 14lb. 4oz. With a Badger Thruster brake. I push a 215 Hybrid at 3100fps. My daughter, now 14 years old, can comfortably shoot it as much as my wallet allows. It has taken game from coyotes (don't recommend this) to big bull elk. A big, accurate rifle in the hands of someone that can shoot is a powerful freezer filler. [/QUOTE]
