[QUOTE="ptatcman, post: 247250, member: 13940"] Thanks again for all your help. Trying to learn all I can. It's good to know my trusty 30-06 is capable of handling 500 yds. if everything is on, including me. I am soo much more comfortable with it. I bought the 300 encore barrel from a friend because the price was right. After shooting it I know why!! He told me it was too much much recoil but I thought he was just being wimpy. MAN that thing is uncomfortable to shoot! Never feel it at the moment of truth, but knowing I had to shoot it 5 or 10 times in a row gives me the willies. The 1.5 groups I talked about were from me just propping up on a tree limb behind the house. I guess a good shooting rest/vise would tell the tale. Any suggestions? One more question and I'll leave ya'll alone for awhile...maybe If you were planning a trip to Canada for those monster whitetails then on to Colorado for elk, would you stay with what you are comfortable with or take to 300. Or do I just save my money and invest in a diff. rifle. If so which one? Thanks again John [/QUOTE]
