So I’m looking at a new rifle, really thinking about a 300 win mag and from anyone with experience on it, is a light rifle really a good idea in 300 win mag? I was looking at the tikka superlite but I like to shoot a lot and I found a Remington long range that seems more of what I’d need. Weight difference is 2lbs. For hiking up and over the mountains I feel the tikka would be nice but at the same time does the 2lbs make recoil a PITA while practicing at the range? And I have a good 20lbs I’m trying to lose but yeah. I’d like for by fall or next spring to be at my goal weight and have a great rifle for chasing bears or whatever else. Goal is to go for a hunt in Alaska for moose next year and I don’t think a guide would appreciate me showing up with my 30-30 hahaAnd I know the tikka has a mag that only allows factory rounds to be loaded but seeing that it produced .5 moa for guys with factory Hornady I’m fine with that. I don’t play with seating depth anyways when I reload.

There is a reason for that. Just sayin. Because men are no longer men? Packin a big magnum on your shoulder doesnt mean youre packin a big magnum in your pants.

The 1-4 # difference is not a damn thing if you can’t pack yourself / gear in! If you’re so worried about a couple pounds in a hunting situation- you better shoot the smallest buck you see period , cuz if that couple # is a big deal you’re screwed haha. Just get comfortable with what you shoot and get confident and you’re good.

It adds up quick and does make a difference.

What’s wrong with the 300? Serious question Not a darn thing.My point is a lot of guys buy them and sell them. Because they can’t take the recoil or get tired of it.If you like it shoot it.
