[QUOTE="Chadp82, post: 2147923, member: 114151"] Good dialogue! I recognize as a few have mentioned this is a long range hunting forum, but a lot of these old rifles were long range guns in the right hands and with practice. My dad was a better shooter than I, and his 300 WM was and is a great shooting rifle, and considered a good long range cartridge at that. I have fired it some since I inherited it, but it beats the snot out of my shoulder so I stick to my ‘06 and 280 much more due to the fact they are more enjoyable to shoot. some of the new items are certainly making the modern rifles easier to hold steady and reduce recoil, but I still argue that these time tested rifles can still shoot long ranges as well.
