[QUOTE="diriel, post: 635590, member: 26983"] In all ways a 300 Win Mag from Remington or Savage Arms will get you quite a bit of after market accessories. Remington is the dominant recommendation you will get. Another one to keep in mind is the Howa / Vanguard, they are pretty nice for the price. Just make sure to get 200 grain or heavier ammunition if you like recoil. As for reloading, yes there is a large price difference IF you plan on shooting fairly often. Just an honest and friendly suggestion, be careful what you ask for... I once had a friend who told me "it cant kick hard enough bro... BRING IT".... he would have dropped that rifle if I had not caught it :) Also, it took my mentor the better part of a year and a half to *Mostly* break me of a bad flinch from that Old Stevens 30-06... Yes, a lowly 06... would cross your eyes and dot the T... put a 1" recoil pad on it... just gave it room to get up speed for a harder WHAM haha... best thing I Ever did was get rid of that and buy a 6.5x55 M96 - 29" long gun. Got rid of my flinch finally, then he was able to train me to be able to absorb hellish amounts of Recoil and not flinch. Well, I wont say NOT flinch, but catch myself before I flinch and re-set my mind and body to take the hammering and follow through. I have bled and continued to shoot a tight group I am perversely proud to say. :) So, yeah, be careful what you ask for! I take pride in being able to shoot severe recoil rifles, but I do *NOT* enjoy shooting them on a regular basis. To much "mental" for me to really let loose and enjoy when they kick the ever lovin' **** out of me. Have a good one sir, you brought back some fond memories of some truly great shooting times! I miss those days. Gary P.S. +1 to what JTK said. [/QUOTE]
