I own a magnum rifle but all but retired it. 300 H&H mag. not that I don't like it, it just got too heavy to carry and I'm getting older and prefer something lighted. use a Remington 700 30-06 now. will not get rid of the H&H as ive owned it for too many years. also got a 243 for groundhogs. its a varmit rifle with a heavy barrel.
