[QUOTE="Deltarome21, post: 1929877, member: 114441"] There are going to be times when you want to shoot 500 yards and not worry about wounding the animal if not broadside to you. Wind affects lighter and slower shots. If planning on having a long range rifle for all lower 48 big game, get a 300 WM or 300 PRC. I have had a Rem 700 mountain 300 RUM for 20 years and now going to a lighter Fierce Rival 300 PRC for shots up to 800 yards in NW colorado. Practice to gain muscle memory and get a muzzle brake to reduce recoil. Buy a scope that costs at least as much as your rifle and consider its weight too. I have a Leupold VX6HD on my 700 and going with lighter VX5 on Fierce. Stay Safe [/QUOTE]
