Hello friends, I know I going to say I'm crazy. You know that I bought a Weatherby Vanguard in 300 Weatherby but I soon sold it, first because 24 inch barrel for firing the cartridge did not convince me then is because I wanted to buy a shotgun skeet.
But now again I'm saving for a long-range rifle, and I thought about buying a rifle cartridge 300 RUM (Remington Ultra Magnum), which makes me doubt it is the rifle that I will choose, so I ask advice:
Remington 700 BDL-
-Remington SPS
-Remington Sendero
I await your answers. Thank you,
Ovny.
Helllo Ovny,
I wanted to respond to your question as I have been using a 300RUM since they come out..mine is in a HS Precision...have hunted around the world with it and I personally love it..you can really crank them up if you hand load..or tune them down around 300 WIN ballistics if you want..Bullets I primarily use are either the Swift A-Frame or Scirroco...depending on the game I am hunting..as they just shoot really well out of that gun...I have several targets shooting under 1/2" group with that rifle at 100yards testing loads..it is incredibly accurate for a hunting rifle.
Recoil is a very personal thing. What is a lot to some is o.k. for others... I am not a big guy..5'10..185lbs...but I have NO problem with the recoil..in fact I also have the 7RUM, 338RUM and 375RUM...shoot them all..again depending on what I am hunting..
Agree with the comments you probably don't need a 300RUM for hunting..but I view that similar to needing another rifle...in most cases wants override needs.. and I am totally o.k. with that..

Now you speak 7 RUM, I see more and more logical than the 300 RUM when I have longer a 338 Winchester Magnum. What do you think? Well I think for stalking 7 RUM I will come just as well.
Ovny.
