My Dad left me his 300 Wby. It was a pre-64 300h&h that was sent to Weatherby to be chambered there. I killed 5 deer and 1 elk with it, and it hit like the hammer of Thor. But, when my best friends son wanted to get a "magnum", I gave him the gun. He will keep it in his family and use it and appreciate it. My "problem" with it was simply that I didn't enjoy practicing with it, because of the sharp and strong recoil. Because of that, I would shoot about 3 or 4 rounds at the range prior to deer season, then go hunting, get my dear, clean the gun and put it back in the safe until the next year. So, I decided to get an 06', and shoot all year long and use it hunting instead. I think it was a good decision, because the extra practice has made me a better shot... funny how that works.
