Well definitely alot of opinions here. In general I would say the .300 Win Mag. With proper bullet selection, it will kill anything and its readily available. It can be carried in a relatively light rifle, recoil is very manageable and almost non existent with a good brake and rifle weight...

So negative. I live in California. I hunt A zone....you wanna talk about tough? Try opening weekend...105 degrees, rocky steep ****, full of brush, no water. Success rate is like 10%. And if your lucky you get an average forkey. It's tough hunting but it shapes a person...

I just bought a Howa HS Precision I. .300 win mag. One option comes from the factory 26" threaded and ready for a brake. The other is a 24" no threads. Both come with a HS Precision stock, the threaded can be found for around 980.00, the non threaded for about 100.00 less. I'd say get the...

One thing I love about the internet is the ability to research and evaluate tons of information and opinions. Notice I didnt say blindly follow others research and opinions. I just bought my first 300 win mag this month and here is why..... First, it is time tested. This cartridge has been...

M16 type extractors on all howas....that's stock

Brownells sells them Mine is a full rifle from legacy. I couldnt get it cheaper than 910 before taxes....even if I bought the stock and barreled action seperate

The 6.5-300 looks awesome, I am a 6.5 fan myself. I shoot a .260 Remington and love it, but the bullet selection for copper is limited. I shoot a 120 gr copper it loves, but the 140's take up too much case space.

I'd like to have gone with the 7mag also. But as I said, copper bullet selection is better. 2 of my hunting partners shoot a 300, only one shoots a 7mag

I went through this also. I almost got a 7mm Rem mag...if you can hunt in states that dont require non-lead....you can find good bullets to load a 7 with. I went with a 300 win mag because the copper selection was the best, not because I thought it was that much better than a 7mm Rem Mag. If I...

Razor....lol...not Razord...**** thumbs
