Just bought one in 300 WM a few weeks ago. Picking it up from the gunsmith after putting an enormous brake on it. Trigger job to be done next. Then to start the load development process.

Literally about 15 posts down the page, I did a review.  You should take the time to look around.  Here is the link to the review.  The review isn't done yet, it will be ongoing, but I have tried to be as thorough as possible.

Sounds like an exciting new purchase for you.....congrat's!!

I can't speak to the 'long range' version, but I do have plenty of experience with a Remington M700, LSS (laminated stock in SS) in 300 RUM.

As opposed to how it came, it now is professionally bedded, wears a Jewell trigger, stands on a Limbsaver butt pad, has Talley steel bases and rings and sports a Zeiss 4.5 x 14 x 44mm scope which truly compliments it's long range capabilities.  It is truly up to 'long range' duties and has proven it over and over these last many years.

I'm a bit older these days and less one useful hand, but it remains my long range, 'special/quality hunt rifle' if drawn and/or when the terrain I plan to hunt calls for it.  It will serve you well in your 'long range' rifle/cartridge quest given that we embrace that human limitations almost always surface far sooner than do mechanical limitations.

You've chosen a very viable long range cartridge, one which has never not benefitted from a premium butt pad......... .

Good luck and enjoy all that goes along with the ownership of a new firearm....... .

I have a 700 RMEF 300 Rum.  My last 5 shot group was .362"  I am shooting 225 Hornady with 89Gr. of H1000  I have the trigger set to 2.5 pounds.  I have Leupold Boone and Crockett scope on it.  Bought it from a guy getting a divorce.  $600!

And in the FWIW department.......RL25 gets me both the velocity and accuracy that I require, pushin' 200gr. NP's (Win. brass and Fed. 215 Match primers).

Good luck and let us know how your quest ended up.....

Feed that rum 215 berger hybrids pushed by a healthy serving of retumbo! Its been magical in all the rums if tried it in.
