[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2195326, member: 10755"] Even though personally I can’t stand the cartridge...for a new to magnum shooter, you can’t go wrong with a 7RM. The step up in flatter trajectory alone, with mild recoil, is a big bonus. Another option is a 264WM. A nice Winchester Model 70 EW comes to mind, mine is fantastic and superbly accurate. A 300WM is a lot of recoil for many people. Unless the rifle weight is 10lbs or more, most inexperienced magnum users do not like the sharper recoil, and Bullets of 200g or more seriously increase the snappiness of the recoil to being uncomfortable for some people. Have seen quite a few Weatherby eyebrows from the 300 magnums over the years and I copped a hit to the bridge of my nose/shooting glasses from a lightweight Supergrade many years ago due to the rifles torque off a solid rest. I prefer the 264WM, but also have a 7STW that really is a flat shooting beast. So take your pick. But I suggest you shoot a 300WM first before deciding if you want one. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
