RE: Big Game Rifle
If your not used to shoot magnums then DONT buy a 30-378[:@].
Ive shot a sako trg 30-378 that my friend had and its not wery pleasant, he sold that thing and got himself a nice 300 win mag but only after developing a nasty flinch after being beaten to crap by that sako! Plus the ammo is too expensive, IMHO |
RE: Big Game Rifle
The Weatherby Mark V .30-378 is a great rifle. I would attach a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44, or a Pentax Lightseeker II 4-16x44 scope on it. Good luck.

RE: Big Game Rifle
300 winny is plenty of gun.

RE: Big Game Rifle
If you want the type of energy you get with the 30-378 then you would be better off with a bigger calliber especially for the bigger critters. You might want to check out the CZ550 Magnum rifles, a real good deal for the money and they come with a single set trigger. You can get them in anything from 300 mag to the .416 Rigby and COMMING SOON the .505 Gibbs.

RE: Big Game Rifle
if it feels like a moose kicked you in the shoulders i think its a bit much
but hey we all have are own ideas 7mm 308 both good guns |
RE: Big Game Rifle
The 30-378 is a nice addition if you already have a few hunting rifles.However it is a very poor choice for a one gun hunter.Due to the extreme recoil and extreme high cost of ammunition you will not want to practise with this rifle so you will not develop and maintain the shooting skills necessary to take advantage of the great ballistics.

RE: Big Game Rifle
The 30-378 would be a good "do-all" choice. I just picked up My "do-all" rifle 375-Remington Ultra Mag.
I also think a Leupold VX-III is a good choice. Good Luck, WK |
RE: Big Game Rifle
JamesB Your right 308. But it seems it must wear the magnum name or have 5000 lbs ME to do the job on today's much tougher big game. Crow, squirrel & rabbit = 30-06 or 7mm Rem.Mag. Antelope = 300 Magnum Deer (whitetails) = 338 Mag. Deer (mulies) = 375 H&H Elk = 416 Mag. (Rem. or Rigby) Moose = 460 Wthby.Mag. Elephant = 50BMG These ought to do, for a year or two;) Oh, and BTW, for those big bears, carry some GRENADES!:eek: |
RE: Big Game Rifle
That's hilarious. To think all I have is only capable of hunting crow, squirrel and rabbit. Dangit! What about a bazooka?? I want to get ahead of the curve here.
