[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1918462, member: 109862"] I have a savage 111 long range hunter in 300 Win mag. No regrets on the brand and build of rifle, and especially no regrets on cartridge selection. My vote is for .300 win mag all the way, no questions asked. Its history of and ongoing success in competition, hunting, and military use demonstrate that a) the short neck is not a problem, b) the belt isn’t hurting a thing, c) coal restrictions just aren’t the problem they’re made out to be or can be worked around easily enough. The fact that is is so popular endures cheap, diverse, and available brass compared to the other newcomer cartridges. I don’t have a ton of experience with other brands or with anything truly long long range but the experience I do have would suggest that if this is your first real long range rig and your learning on it get a savage of some flavour in 7mm rem mag or 300 win mag. I’m certain you won’t be sorry. im especially fond of the 30 calibers. They may kick a little more and there’s some things the 6.5s and 7s do just as well but there’s really not many situations at all that a big 30 of some flavour isn’t a great choice for. [/QUOTE]
