[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 267659, member: 13285"] Welcome AtownBcat, Sounds like you are starting out with some good gear. This should make a good first long range rifle. As a "Newbie" you probably wont shoot as far as some of the more experienced hunters on this web site, so I would go for the 300WSM over the 300RUM. As you are going to use factory ammo the 300WSM has a better range of factory ammunition that is suited to long range shooting. If you were going to reload right from the start I would go for the 300RUM. With long range hunting accuracy is very important in order to place your first shot where it counts. But you still need velocity. The 300WSM will give you plenty of range for a first long range rifle. Latter when you have more experience you may wish to go to the 300RUM. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
