If you are looking for a long range (700yds plus)I think it is the best balance of caliber, velocity, recoil, bullet construction, barrel life, potential accuracy, brass life, brass cost.
They work well with a 27 28" barrel and the 300gr smk is a stellar target and GAME bullet. If you are not looking for a long range gun and want a 33 just get a .338wm.

This season we had 2 friends in with them. Pronghorn at 296, 480, 816 and 820 yds. Later on deer and elk at over 500. Another deer at 974.

The 416 barrett is very expensive to shoot, bullets to load are expensive and you cannot load it to factory velocity with available data or powders.
