That's awesome deal. Where do you get that? Would you like to share the info?

In terms of the rifle, I had the same rifle in 308 however. Overall, I really like the rifle and its accuracy out of the box. My friend also likes his as well. So serious complaint. Could use a better stock and perhaps a DBM, but then again, who doesn't want one.

I am just wondering, 300 win mag at 300 - 600 yards is a lot of gun for that. Dont get me wrong. The "must have factor" can be very strong at time. Just wondering about the costs to shoot it that's all. Of course, it eats a bit more powder than a 308 caliber. Will you be using for hunting also? Please don't be offended if I ask "Have you shoot long range before?" Reason is, sending enough rounds down range to be comfortable behind the stick can be expensive with a 300 win mag. I'm just saying...
