BW, I have a .300 RUM nicest gun! Mine is a Rem.700 SS, RMEF edt.3X9 Z,Mag/Na/Port screw off brake and a R3 pad. This rifle with brake is like shootin an 06. Huntin thred cap on and go. No one feels recoil when a heart beat is in the X. As for short mag. fade which never took off well why bother just get an 06, Lovein the RUM....later
