    Were they bringing these in in 300winmag?

    Seems like the sort of thing that I really really don't need. But... I do

    Not sure

    I already have a 300 win mag



    When the rem mag Carbonlite gets here i can just swap the stocks around on the day.

    The win mag is hard on you when firing 208 amaxs at 2980fps, and nice with 178 amaxs, the carbon stock might elevate the recoil a little
    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time

    Yeah I bet it pushes back a bit with that load - my 300wm is 168amax at 2800fps with a suppressor & makes it a pussycat. My shoulders buggered so no recoil helps. Can imagine it would still be fine in a lighter rifle.

    Let us see the result when you do the swap.

    I might make some enquiries and see if there are winmags on the horizon.

    I guess the northern hemisphere hunting seasons are opening soon, every new Carbon sako would be sucked up by that market.
