Topgun....I have the utmost confidence in my Sako 300 H&H but I would NEVER take a head or neck shot under hunting conditions!!! to many variables ...right up to that pesky old buck fever!!!! I have just saw way to many wounded animals.... I will say something here and I'm sure the old farts will agree ... there are so many carfull and ethical hunters out there that do just fine when it come to shooting a deer .....BUT put them on they first elk and all bets are off!!!!!!! 15 shots in 5 seconds when the elk have been gone for ten!!! I could go on ... I see it every year!!!!!
