[QUOTE="Kliff, post: 3028583, member: 120965"] Thanks, for all of your input and feedback. Regarding Buds gun shop. I've seen their selection on line, but I've never purchased a gun on line before. A local gun shop can order me anything I can find on line, and their price is basically the same as what I'd pay on line plus the FFL transfer fee. That takes the risk out of not getting what I want. I've dealt with them on shotguns, hand guns, and accessories, so If they bring something in I end up not wanting, I don't buy it. Ironically, I'm starting to feel more comfortable about being able to handle the recoil of a 300 win mag, but at the same time, KNOW I'll need a fair amount of range time to feel comfortable with any rifle. So for now, I'm backing down a bit, going with the .270 winchester. Should have it ordered in the next week, gun in hand 7-10 days after placing the order. Another question comes to mind: How much does muzzle brake or suppressor affect ballistics? I really don't like wearing hearing protection while hunting. My thought is, use a brake with HP at the range, take it off for hunting. Anyone do this? I'm planning to get a suppressor, but takes longer than I thought. One of my hunting buddies just told me his took almost two years. [/QUOTE]
