I have a friend that wants a new 300 wm rifle

I really do not understand what's the big deal. I thought the article caveat it and addressed it well.

Yeah, that's what I thought too.
And it has to be true because I read it on the internet.

"Mil-Spec" just sounds cool and helps them sell rifles, sort of like the "Tactical Bolt Handle"

Kinda like Creedmore describing a cartridge. mtmuley

And if a rifle won't group with that singular load you chitcan the barrel? mtmuley

There a little more to it like bore scoping and checking the mechanics but I've been through enough of these Rem 300 wins that this load will either show promise of what's to come when we work up to 76-77 gr or it's like a 3 inch load, a three inch barrel is a waste of components to try to make it a sub half moa, many I see guys will pull all the tricks and in a few hundred rounds have one very narrow load that is like 1-1.5 inches, that ruins a gun more than rebarreled it early!!

I looked into the xbolt long range just haven't seen it recommended much how do they shoot also how is the aftermarket support also he was looking at the christensen arms Mesa long range I told him it might be a little heavy thoughts on it as well

All the Brownings I've owned shoot great. Aftermarket support is very slim though.

I actually have a long range stalker with a 26 inch barrel but the trigger is a little heavy. Do you have spring demisions? I can't find anyone that will touch that trigger, other than a total replacement from jard

I have this one in my Hells Canyon Speed, definitely helped.

Awesome, ordered one. This will be a fantastic rifle for the price with an improved trigger pull.

Thank you!

They would tell me they don't make the M-24 anymore.
They were replaced with something better.


They really aren't more accurate than most of their other rifles.

The specs call for "less than 1 MOA" and that's pretty much the industry standard for decent rifles now.

I picked up a Rem 700 SPS in 300 Win at a local western/ranch store for 265 bucks and it will rival any custom/semi-custom rifle I've ever owned, except for the ones Kirby built....

Did you know those are "reject" barrels that aren't good enough to be M-24's?

They started the selling 5r's to keep from having to take a loss from tossing out those barrels.

The only reason they were rejected is the fact they were slightly undersized on the outer diameter at the muzzle.
