I have a Savage .300 Win Mag, 24" barrel, which comes in at a whopping 6.5 lbs, scope and all, so, you are incorrect in that sense
I am calling a big BS on this! There is no way Savage builds a 300 Win. rifle that weighs 6.5 lbs with scope. For this to be true a bare rifle with an averageweight scope of 12-13 oz with mounts at 2-3oz your rifle would have to weigh right around 5.5 lbs which isthe same as Browning A-bolt Ti WSM. Savage doesn't build it.
Confirmed --BS
I haven't had any problems getting 1/2" groups off the bench,
I don't doubt it, Savages are great shooters. I won't even try to disprove this.
face it you bought the .300 WSM because you wanted to try something new, and now, you are just trying to validate owning it.
No, not really. I just happened to find a more compact rifle capable of magnum ballistics, in a lightweight package without spending thousands on a custom rifle. I don't have to validate my rifle to anyone. My rifle only has to validate itself to me. And it does every time I take it out of the safe.
it isn't in the top 20 list of sales
Who cares? The 300 WSMdoesnot need popularity to perform.
And yes, I hate all Winchester Sucky Mags.
And this statement allows me to gauge the maturity level of whom I am dealing with. Thanks for continuing to give me ammo to shoot you down.Despite what you think, most of the readers here are quite respectful and will be able to muddle through the BS. I applaud you for your persistance in trying to prove a point, but don't try to BS me or the readers of this forum again.
The 300 WSM is here to stay whether you like it or not.
