When I see people on this board take down Elk at 5-600 yards with a 308 and 155 Scenars, I see no need for a 300 WM!
Thats just begging for (un)enjoyment when the scope kisses your eyebrow and blinds you with blood.
A light rifle for hunting and a heavier for shooting long range!
Or a tweener, in 8-10 lbs, in a managable caliber.
308 Win, 155scenar, 10x42 S&B PMII, 3# barrel, get a silencer for long range shoots.
Northman have you shot a lot of elk with the 308 yourself?
Or a 300 magnum for that matter?
Have you hunted elk a lot yourself?
I'd be interested in observations of how they both work.
If you learned how to shoot a 300 magnum you won't end up with the scope in your face. What nonsense.
JG is right of course. let the guy shoot what he wants.
