[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2544234, member: 106514"] I had a 700 5R 300 Win Mag back around 2009. It shot just ok most of the time. I remember thinking 6" groups @400 and change were pretty good for that rifle. I've had a few .300 Win Mags over the years, and by far the best of the bunch was my first one in a synthetic Howa circa 1991 if I remember correctly, though the gun was likely older, since I traded a guy even for a 7600 .243 (pump), the Magnum Research Mountain Eagle on a Sako action and Krieger barrel, and my current one - a Sauer 101. They just shot/shoot everything well. I gave the guy at the pawn shop the .243 and he gave me the black Howa. Great trade for him in value; great trade for me in experience gained. The Sauer is just dead nuts accurate. It kicks among the worst of my .300s over time because it's basically an ultralight. The triggers on the Sauer and the Magnum Research are better than most Timneys. A Savage Long Range Hunter was the worst .300 Win ever. 2 - 3" 100yd groups. Well, let me back up: a Sako 85 Bavarian was the WORST ever. The LRH was a very close 2nd. I've had several Long Range Hunters from Savage and most shoot lights out. Good luck and keep us posted [/QUOTE]
