[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 681513, member: 30902"] The 300wsm is a great round, and the M-70 a great action to work with. Put it in a good stock, properly float/bed, then see how it shoots. There's pretty much very little in N. America the .300wsm can't handle out to at least 800yds with adequate energy and velocity. If it won't shoot after doing that, then you need to consider moving up to a good premium heavy barrel of at least 26" in length. Have it blue printed at the same time. Also you need to get someone who knows what they are doing to work your trigger over and get it down to 2lbs or less with the overtravel opened all the way up. Your goal should be to get it to shoot sub MOA consistently at any range, and as long as you can do that, 800yds is no problem on any med-large game other than perhaps the grizzly. For them, You really want to move up to one of the big .338's because you need a hell of a lot of penetrating power at any range to bring them down. Welcome to the addiction. [/QUOTE]
