Shaley, what are your thought on the 300 RUM?
If I can butt in Scotty.
Great open country Elk caliber…it will rock your world with 200 gr bullets though…After 45 years of Coyote, Deer, Bear, and Elk hunting I have a four rifle battery…
Rem 700 LSS .280…160gr Partition Wtails, Muleys, Elk
4.5X14X40 Leupold 30mm scope (open country out west etc…)
Rem 700 CDL 7mm08…120gr Antelope, 140-150gr Deer
3X9X40 Leupold (my favorite woods Deer outfit)
Winchester 94 Big Bore (angle eject)… .356 Win
This heavy cover deer/Bear/Moose rifle is very accurate and hard hitting with 200gr slugs.
It carries a straight 4X Weaver scope.
Tikka SS lite .243… Deer and Predators at long range
6X20X44 Nikon scope
I reload and all these(except the .356) shoot 1/4″ MOA groups at 100yds and more…ALL HAVE VERY MILD RECOIL…and kill very well. I shoot them well because of the mild recoil.
