I had a 26” stainless SPS in 300 mag for many years. Topped with a 3x9 Zeiss Conquest and shooting 168gr Barnes TTSX bullets it was an elk killing machine! Very accurate but I replaced the factory trigger with a Timney 512 and that helped as the factory trigger was not great! It weighed 9lbs even with the scope.

My only complaint was recoil. It was on the heavy side and I just didn’t want the punishment any longer. I’ve always been fascinated with the 270Wthby so it went down the road for a Weatherby Weathermark and I couldn’t be happier!

The SPS was a great rifle and the 300WM is an awsome elk round! Hard to beat that combo IMHO!
