[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2306609, member: 60453"] Actually, the 300 H&H isn't a bad choice, if you can stand the recoil. It shoots suffeciently flat for distance (800 yards at least), has a good selection of bullet weights and factory loads, and is adequate for just about anything including African dangerous game. The drawbacks are recoil weight (add about a pound at least, and you'll want the weight) and the requirement for a magnum length action, which adds about $500 to the rifle. If you get one, get iron sights too, and a muzzle brake. You'll want it. You might also consider the Remington SPS Long range in 300 Winmag. Gunwerks has made accurizing videos on the stock rifle and had 0.5 inch groups with it at 100 yards, and hit 12" plates with it at 1,000 yards without any trouble. The starting price for this rifle is about $800. The work for accuracy is minimal and easily performed, consisting mostly of bedding, and the rifle might not need it. Both my standard barrelled 300WM's shoot inside 0.8" at 100 yards with 5 shot groups from the box. [/QUOTE]
