The kick isn't too bad un-suppressed. I wouldn't like to do a big target session with the suppressor off. I love mine. Bang flop, nuff said

Nah, u should not believe everything you’re told.

Why do you want a magnum?
Light weight 300win mag is not easy to shoot accurately (that’s why so many come up for sale cheap ) and you need to have good tolerance for recoil. First requirement for long range rig is accuracy, if rifle/shooter can’t deliver that then you’re wasting your time and money.

I would split the difference and get a 7mm Weatherby much better case design from a reloading stand point, The 300 WM needs a long action like the Rem 700 to seat the bullets out
further.

A friend just bought a hells canyon in this, soft recoil, excellent trigger, only thing that i thought let it down was the plastic rotary mag. Its got me thinking could i use one too.
I also know someone who had a t3 in 308 reamed to 300 win mag it ended up in a sporter stock to tame the recoil.

the hells canyon long range is what i really want but i will have to wait and save for that and that is no fun

What’s wrong with the mag? I’ve got a 40 year old rifle with a plastic rotary mag (centrefire), and it sfine. In fact it feeds so smooth I have to check it’s picked up a round if I’ve been using lesser rifles like my sako..

When you get it Loctite all the screws , magnums have a way of making things come loose

And of course the op needs a 300 win mag. Just don’t buy a tikka, it only encourages them to import more of the bloody things...

Theres nothing wrong with rotary mags, its just the straight plastic paddles looked a bit budget, guess having a savage 99 spoilt me.

Do you need a 300 win mag?. No. You won't be found dead of a broken heart tomorrow 'cause you didn't get one .

Was looking through guntrader uk the other day and saw this Sako Finbear .264 Mag Express, tiger stripe walnut stock for £545 himmm

No. Do not buy it. If you have a .270win use it for everything. If you don't have a .270win, buy one and use it for everything.

just sold my 270 , she was a good rifle but i spend most of my time in the bush so i got a cut down 7mm08(16.5 inch), goes real good on fellow but
i am concerned that it may not do the business at distance on a red.
i also have my vx3 that used to sit on my 270 on my 10/22 and its a waste of a good scope
my mate has a howa 300 and with a suppressor it kicked less then my old 270.
and i want to explode some goats

I've scaled down the number of rifles I own as I prefer to have one or two I'm familiar and proficient with than a bunch I shoot on a infrequent basis. A lot more satisfying...

Yes, because fuck you shoulder, thats why
