[QUOTE="Varberger757, post: 908823, member: 66992"] Fantastic, now you've come to my absolute favorite, the fantastic 8x68S. :) Here in Europe and may be also somewhere else you will hardly find a cartridge which is that good all around due to hunting. Flat trajectory like the 300WM, phenomal terminal ballistics out to 1k (with the bullets you find today!), shoots 220gr. bullets with a MV up to 950m/s. Nothing from deer over moose to dangerous game has to be feared, its allowed for the BIG FIVE in Central Africa like its American cousin the great 8mm RemMag. There is one thing you have to be aware of, stout recoil. Outstanding perfomance has always a price to be paid. Use a decent muzzle break and it shoots like a tamed 308W. My advice: Just go for it! gun)BTW; I'm also using a 300WM in my favorite gun , the Varberger 757. :D As soon as the barrel will be worn out it's going to be rebarreld in ... ja the (8x68S) I just love this calibre!
