Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 300 wsm it is.

Please elaborate. It seems to me the 300 is slightly less flat than the 7mm, but has more energy, and slightly flatter than the 325, but carries less energy. A good mix of the two, it would seem. The 300 has more readily available components and ammunition as well...

Tom264, I take it from your post that the McMillan makes a difference in the recoil vs. the Model 70 stock. Good to knows as my initial thought was a 70 EW and the addition of a McMillan of some flavor, not with edge fill. Probably add the SS 3-9 for optics, so not a super lightweight rig, looking for about 8 lbs. all up, or thereabout. Can fiddle with mounts and such to add or reduce weight a little if needed. Or do you suspect there is a recoil difference between the different actions? I figured the stock and weight had most of the effect one way or the other.
