I put the printer's box at 250 yards and couldn't see the "jap flag", so I aim at the central of the box 2/3 height (where the big red dot is) when I shoot it I saw the dust blows at the back I thought at least got the box, then find out it's not too bad, bullet drop about 8 inch at 250 yard, the wind blow away the 223 bullets but not the 30 cal...

30-06 would be a little sharp off the bench I reckon, certainly not a range recoil pad but should be good in the field

hhhhmmmm 300WM is alot of recoil for such a light rifle, Ive always preferred a timber stock for a 300WM and WSM

order yaself a 6.5 PRC and when you dont like it ill buy it cheap off ya :thumbsup:

Sorry gents, i may have just started another thread similar to this one. Admin - feel free to delete.

I'd rather be hunting

I may buy Steyr pro hunter if I want 300WM, 25.6 inch barrel set trigger well made just under 900 dollars, seems good deal
