I've seen how well muzzle breaks work, but at the same time I don't want to spend an extra $250 for a muzzle break and the noise is almost unbearable. I've had guys shooting them next to me at the rifle range and even with ear plugs they are crazy loud. Seems how it is a hunting rifle I won't be...

I have a howa 1500 with the same trigger as the new s2 and I really like it so that's part of the reason I like the s2. But I don't reload at all and I know how hard it is to find factory ammo for the 300wsm so that is why I'm thinking the 300 win mag. But at the same time I don't want to...

Alright guys in looking to get a new elk gun and ive been debating between the 300 win mag and 300wsm. I am really leaning towards the 300 win mag but the one thing I'm worried about is recoil. The last 3 years I hunted with the weatherby vanguard 300wsm but I hated the trigger. I do like the...

Ok so it's sounding like the 300 win mag is the way to go for an elk gun. I've been looking at the sporting good stores in town and it looks like there is plenty of 300 win mag ammo out there. Any recommendations on what gun to get or look at? I like the tikka and the remington 700 so far. I...

Thanks for the input so far guys! I'm kind of torn between the 300 win mag and the 30-06. I have no intention of shooting over 600 yards and like I was saying most of my shots are in the 300 yard range. I have been looking at ammo prices and the 30-06 is ammo is pretty cheap and available...

I have also been looking at the 30-06. What do you guys think about the 30-06 for elk hunting?? I typically don't shoot over 600 yards because I am not comfortable making that shot. Would you go with the 30-06 or 300 win mag?? I just know that the 30-06 shoots a little slower but it has less...

Thanks for the advice so far guys! I am leaning towards getting a 300 win mag based on the availability of shells. I know the 300wsm factory loads are hard to come by year round but there seems to be plenty of the 300 win mag shells on the shelves. As far as brand now which one would you guys...

Hey everybody I am new to this forum and I am looking for some info and advice on a new hunting rifle. I live in Montana and most of my hunting is done in big open country with the possibility to shoot out to 1,000 yards plus. However most of my shots are in the 300-400 yard range. I have a 270...
