[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 952261, member: 51650"] Weatherby 460 The 300 WinMag will easy go 500 yards. The limit will be you. Out of the box either rifle will deliver at 500 yards. Now to start an argument: IMHO the Savage is more likely to be very accurate out of the box and the trigger is pretty good. The Savage's lock time is very fast and that helps. The Savage suffers from a standard length box magazine. It feeds strait and true but you cannot go longer than about 3.400" COAL. The Remington needs a trigger for sure. The accuracy is good for 500 yards but not likely as good as the Savage IMEx. The box magazine is magnum length and feeds cartridges as long as 3.500" COAL no problem all day long. This is a big plus. Remingtons are to shooters what the small block Chevy is to hotrodders- you want it we can do it. Aftermarket parts are almost unlimited in scope, you can find anything for the Remmy. Muzzle brakes on 300 WinMags are for little girls who can't stand the taste of good single malt Scotch. Typical number of shots taken are going to be around 20 at a sitting and you can take that. Hunting is maybe 3 at a whack. Put some money into the scope and mount. Like $500 for a scope. Len sells the new Nightforce SHV for just under $1k. This is a great choice for what you want and will take you to 1K yards for sure. Sub-standard scopes kill more LR hunting rigs than any other single item except maybe ammo. More opinions and advice on this subject than you are prepared for. Hope you can speed read! KB [/QUOTE]
