OP elkhunternm Campfire Oracle E Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 96,170 Likes: 5 Southern New Mexico	Well,looked on Gun broker and Guns international,the prices for a used .300 H&H was more than I wanted to pay. Found a cheap Pre-'64 for $1350 and that one was re-stocked. From there is the price went up. There was a Remington 721(?) that is just "ugly" and just could not bring myself spending money on those.

ingwe Campfire Oracle Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 78,307 Likes: 2 Southwestern Montucky	Agreed on Kate Upton, and if a guy could find a Rem700 Classic in the .300 H&H that would be skookum. We have a couple 722s in the house, both real shooters�.but borderline in the looks dept. "...the left considers you vermin, and they'll kill you given the chance..." Bristoe

You're sorta set in your ways for a younger/older dood! Woody, in both instances, one cannot improve upon perfection. Only one other cartridge falls into that category, and that would be the .375 H&H Not set in my ways, just suffering under the burden of being right all the time�.

Something tells me it'll still kill an deer,elk or whatever even without the H&H stamp on it. Have a 6x42mm Leupold just waiting for it. Last edited by elkhunternm; 01/25/14.

Be here Thursday and when it's paid for,I'll post pics. I just got home from officiating a funeral, and now this. One more bit of bad news and I'm not getting out of bed in the morning. Ingwe, you couldn't talk him out of it? "An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
