Ok ok I'll buy the 300 rum just stop twisting my armWill.284 and Grouse.....Sorry guys, its to pretty of a rifle, I can' make myself sell it. I've had it for years and just refuse to shoot such a large caliber with a rubber recoil pad that is almost as hard as the walnut it's screwed to.
RUM man, I'm with ya dude! I love my RUMs but I'm tired of 30+ inch barrels. They are to long in a blind and I had them built when I thought I would never get to hurting to bad, or not have enough patience to carry them. And honestly my uncle reloads for it and he has locked the bolt down trying to get more velocity than a factory 26" but it seems like anything shorter would be a bigger fireball out of the muzzle. My 300 Rum is actually what Im trying to replace, I love the knock down, love the way it shoots, just hate to carry it.
Taylorms, Thanks! that's part of my concern is feeding issues but honestly I didn't think about the ramps, I was worried about the rails being so wide they wouldn't keep a smaller round down in the factory magwell.
Between replacing the 300 RUM with something lighter and already having a 29"long #2 profile 7 mag, and just having bought a 6.5 Creed from Pure Precision, (go ahead, roast away) Id kinda like to stay 30cal.
I guess that's my biggest concern, I would like something that lays rib shot deer flat at 500 but with a 22-24" barrel, preferably carbon that I can suppress that I can let a 9 year old shoot. I feel like that's still a bit of a step down as the 300 RUM hit an elk low front shoulder at 502 and it just went to its knees then done a back flip. Is that the WM or PRC? Am I asking to much?
Ive already stacked a safe full trying to find something that performs with the RUM but is lighter and shorter. Looking for an end to the madness.
Should I just get back in the gym?
Um no sirOk ok I'll buy the 300 rum just stop twisting my arm
Dang it I tried !!Um no sir
I guess I'm confused. Is the 7 RUM shot out? Why no intention of shooting it?
