« on: October 10, 2011, 10:06:03 PM »
This is my hunting rifle. Its a remington model 700, 300 rum with the thumbhole stock. On top is my swavorski 4x12x50. Im shooting reloads with the berger bullets. Shot it the other day 3 times and had 3/16 group at 100 yrds. Is it deer season yet:)

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

"Where's the meat?" That's what you'll be saying when you blow a hole through a deer with that cannon! I did that one year when I used to hunt in Oregon. I was down to just using my elk rifle, it was a Ruger 300 win mag. I shot a nice little buck at 80 yards with it. The bullet picked up the deer and tossed it about 10-15 yards. And it also blew a 9 inch round hole right through the middle of it! Didn't get much meat off that guy! But good luck! Nice gun btw!

Top picture is of exit holes, middle pic is entrances. Shot and hit both times at 300 yrds. Dead after first shot but was still standing so put another bullet in him.

I've shot quite a few deer with .300 win mags and never ruin much meat. Just don't shoot them in the shoulder and you should be alright.

I like the thumbhole stock. Its comfortable and I honestly believe it helps me be more steadier and helps with better shots. I wouldnt change a thing on this rifle!!

I've not had a lot of meat damage with a 300 RUM on deer.  On one, a neck shot, had a large exit but most have been quarter size exit holes.  I think that is better than losing a whole animal from not using enough gun.

Acually we were about two miles from the truck. We were out hiking when we came across the bull with another spike and 5 cows.

I shot 176 Groundhogs one spring/ summer all with a .300 win Mag Sendero. The hits were spectacular to say the least and not one of them even got launched 10-15 yards. I have hit deer in a 3/4  ton four wheel drive at 60 and that didn't even launch them 10-15 yards. :liar:

I have shot mule deer at 70 yards with a .375 Ultra Magnum and a 260grNosler Ballistic tip and the exit hole was maybe 3" .  :bs:
