[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1592039, member: 99718"] I don't feel there is one reason for you seeing a lot of 300 magnums for sale when you looked on the used gun market, it is winter and every winter spikes the urge in some to build a new rifle, that being said some go smaller to get away from recoil, as long as the gun will be able to still do the job that they need it to do and others may want to go bigger, something that will allow them to shoot even farther ! Many long range hunters are going to the 338-378 or larger or equivalent rifles to shoot out past 1500 yards ! Many are making the mistake of going too light for Elk with their choice of rifles, while their choice will kill elk in most cases they are under gunned if a not so well placed shot occurs and they are inevitable if they shoot at enough of them, an unseen limb or the animal move at the instant the trigger is pulled can all make a good placed shot a bad one, what I am saying is things that we can't control can happen ! I for one would rather be over gunned than under gunned and cripple an animal ! This is only my opinion ! And also next month you may look at the same place and notice there are more small to mid sized calibers on the market at that time ! Nothing more I feel than coincidence at the time ! [/QUOTE]
