My RUM loves the 180 Scirrocco's.... Personally, for a hunting rifle...I would not magna port it. Wear muffs and pad your shoulder at the range. I don't feel or hear my rifle much when shooting at game, but I understand touching off a round with magnaporting when you arent wearing hearing protection can ruin your day. Since you are concerned with the kick from this rifle, any chance you are flinching the shot?
the shape of a stock has moreto do with recoil then you might imagine. if you are going to drop the $$ on a stock and magna porting, please try a mc millan stock first. if you do not like it you will have no trouble selling it for what you paid for it as most have to wait 6 plus months for one. I have 2 300 rums and they both shoot well, but both shot factory ammo so poorly that I pulled the bullets and saved the agony of wasting barrel life. mine have hand loads they love of sciroccos and tsx's. one loves 7828 the other 8700.....both in very large doses.
The factory Remington Ammo.. Scrocco 180 grain level III's did not group that well.. best group was 1.5 inches. As inherintely accurate as these rifles are supposed to be, what factory ammo round really thrives in this set up? I have never found Rem ammo to be that great.. does anyone else have a good experience with Rem ammo?
