Love it.

I have two, one set up as a long range 'roo gun the other as a normal hunting rifle. Both deliver outstanding accuracy.......never go back to the 300WBY Big Grin


Verbera!, Iugula!, Iugula!!!

I took mine to Africa and shot a Zerbra, Wart Hog, Gemsbok,and a Links Cat using 200gr Noslers. It all was done by the 300 RUM.

I do semi-regularly. Don't want to burn up bbl life just to keep playing. Already have 2 fantastic loads and 1 great load.

I have a winchester 70 classic sporter, never been out of the box except for a wipe down with breakfree. Bolt never been in it. I generally shoot a winchester 70 in 300 H + H if I want a 30 cal magnum or jump to a .338wm.

Hi Guys:

300 RUM is my FAVORITE caliber. I have personally shot over 20 head of game with mine. From Coyotes to Bull Giraffe, with Elk, Red Stags, Sable, Wildebeast, Zebra, Kudu, Hartebeast and more thrown in for good measure.

In March of this year I shot a Stag at over 369 yards, mountain top to mountain top, boom flop.

My rifle is so accurate with Remington Factory 180 Noslers, sub MOA since the day I bought it, I never bothered to hand load for it.

It is my go to rifle.

Regards... Jim P.
