[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1279826, member: 30902"] You could save yourself a whole lot of money, recoil, frustration and aggravation by just going with the venerable .300wm, or 7mm Rem, or the ever useful and popular 7mm STW. Before buying any of the "Ultra Magnums" find someone who will let you shoot a box of shells through theirs. There's a reason you see so many of them for sale at a loss in "near new", "barely used" condition. Most people find out pretty quickly that they can't tolerate the recoil and even if they bull themselves through it, they end up developing such a bad flinch as to not ever be able to shoot them well or with confidence. When you get past that they are very expensive to feed wither with Factory ammo or loading your own due to the cost of brass. That being said, out of those you list the .300 Rum would be my choice. One of my all time favorite rifles is a Model 70 Winchester Classic Stainless .300Rum. [/QUOTE]
