BAR autoloaders
 
Looking at getting a Browning 300 win mag. On some of the threads I looked at, some have said there might be accuracy issues.Not sure that I believe everything on the internet. Seems like a quality riffle.

Would make a great Christmas present to myself.

I have one in 30-06 built in 1968, great shooter. Use it with iron sights when we are pushing white tails.

Thanks for the pic

Do you really need the 300 mag?

I'd be looking at one in 308 or 30-06 or one of the smaller standard length non-belted calibers...

The services got away from hi-caliber man carry autos for a very good reason.

He probably won't be laying down suppressive fire while deer hunting.

gduke2010 12-03-2016 10:19 AM

I want an accurate gun but that shoots flat. Also, considering a bolt action. I already have a 30-06

What is this gun for? I'd take a bolt over an autoloader for hunting every time. More accurate, more reliable in adverse conditions.

I cannot speak highly enough of my Weatherby Vanguard. Fantastic gun at a nice price point. Made by Howa of Japan.

I have bolt actions as well of course. Mine belonged to an Uncle that passed away, so I was very happy to get it.

And it's a crying shame they did.

Know someone with a Weatherby 300mag bolt action, too. His late brother won it in a raffle and he needs to talk to his other brother about price. Thats all I know about the gun; haven't seen it yet.

I do like the idea of buying a high end gun made in Japan. Being in construction all my life I know the quality of some of the high end specialty tools made there e.g.. the $1000 chisel sets that the craftsmen use there. Also, the quality of European high end manufacturers. They're made with the best quality steel.

Thinking of working less in the future and would like to get back into hunting. A 300 magnum would be the best gun for elk

What deer do you shoot in Colorado? Until I moved to Nevada from Iowa, I used to shoot slugs. BTW, nice gun.

dmcummins 12-03-2016 03:26 PM

I've got a 7mm magnum. I havnt shot it in years, I bought it when I was in WY and planned on going Elk hunting.

"the best gun for elk". That phrase has kicked off endless debates. You want to see a thread reach 20 pages, go on a hunting site, and post "I'm new to elk hunting, and was thinking of using my .270. Good idea?"

gduke2010 12-03-2016 03:53 PM

Will do

Kinda like our oil threads.

tops911 12-03-2016 04:27 PM

I like the BAR and would love to have one in either 300 or 338 mag

gduke2010 12-03-2016 04:53 PM

You could probably shoot a lot of hogs in Hawaii?

tops911 12-03-2016 06:06 PM

LOL, well the hogs here would not require a gun that big, I'm only here for about 4 more months then I'll be back in the Rockies where a gun like that would be useful.
