[QUOTE="Nutjob, post: 394652, member: 10586"] Looking for advice on a mid weight (max 9.0 lbs all up) .300 Magnum. I want it all, a rifle that feeds and functions, is accurate, good for the dark timber or open sage, and doesn't kick the snot out of you without a muzzle brake. I have Remington and Sako preferences. Looking primarily at 300 Wsm, 300 Win Mag, or .300 Weatherby. I have shot all of these chamberings with no recoil issues. At this time I'm ruling out the .300 Rum. I own an accurate braked .338 RUM and while it kicks very little braked the extra length in the timber and extra noise are annoying enough to consider something with a little less of both. Elk and mule deer are the quarry. Ranges less than 700. Grizzly in some of the areas we hunt. At this time I am primarily looking at factory rifles but considering semi or full blown custom in the near future. Is there a .300 that is easier to get to shoot well? Is there a factory rifle that seems to deliver function and accuracy over the other depending on chambering? (ie 300 WSM in a Sako Vs, Rem.) Thanks, Russ [/QUOTE]
