Hi all, this is my first post after lurking around quite a bit. I am a bit of an amateur, when it comes to predator hunting, but am going to learn.
Thought I would make a comment here, cause I know a bit more about it. A 300 ultra, and the 338 and up are more than most people can shoot without a flinch or a brake. I hate brakes. I wanted a light weight Bettin gun in 300 wsm, but the budget kept nagging me. I ended up buying a slightly used HS Precision 300 wsm, put on top notch Near mounts, Added a 2-12x40 Burris six x, with storm coat. Don't know why they quit making the six x, but I love the fov, clarity, and long range ability. Hunting up here requires hunting in bad weather, rain guard, or storm coat, or sim was a must, without spending huge. The rig weighs in at a nominal 8 lbs, is very accurate, will kill any big game in north america, and is a soft shooter. No elk with it yet, but I like the results out to 400 yds, on paper. Did I say it shoots soft for a reasonably flat shooting 30 cal. All in
Just over $2800.
