……and what was a turkey doing in your underwear?

@#)(# in your underwear you say?

 

[Cornbread]

These 700’s suck big time for sure. This .308 with a VX5 won’t shoot worn a darn at 100 yards. Bullets will probably just bounce off these Kentucky Whitetails.

Just throw that shit away. Make sure it's in MY garbage can however!!

And here's the worst part. It's a J-lock rifle. mtmuley

Can’t you just grind that wart off or put the key in and snap it off?

Replacement shroud and firing pin was 70 bucks. mtmuley

Yeah, I shoot a 4.5 Weatherchester Super Duper Magnum in a 117.6 grain. You wouldn’t know what that is, unless only elitests shoot that. The 30-06 is for ugly people.

Resident oddball cartridge hipster checking in here: when do we hit the point where the .30-06 is retro and now cool again? I liked the 6.5CM a lot more when everyone still called it the 6.5x55.

post up best Rem700, Leupold scope, 300RUM pics.... I'll start, and have a large stack. Must include rifle w/leupold and be a 300RUM..

Okay but where's the backup custom 7 PRC sporting a NF scope? Impossible that you actually killed something with that thing

 

[BackofBeyond]

Rem 700 RUM with a NF doesn’t count? Damn. Tough crowd.

 

[44hunter45]

92 grains. If I drop down in cartridge I have an .06 and a .270. I just really like the .300 RUM. Done a lot of work with it over the years between mine and friends rifles. I keep changing my mind, but a 168 Hammer HHT somewhere around 3500-3600 fps should work well. mtmuley

**should**

The listed abortion includes a "Leupold" scope. Thankfully the shot on the elk above was close, as the add-on M1 was about as useless as and unrepeatable as they come.

Nothing like $2 in hard to come by powder alone, per shot, and tougher to keep on target after the shot as the concussion/tremor settles, while knowing your barrel life is about half that of cartridges that can do everything a 300RUM can do, cheaper/better. It's the only rifle I've owned where I couldn't hand it to my kids and say here you go, when they were younger. It does work, as does a 30-30, 308, .223, .270, 7mm-8 or .300 Win, etc. etc. No better, but more costly and less effective in a lot of ways.

Not to mention they kick like a mule. That’s my beef. But I fixed mine by threading it for a suppressor.

What's a suppressed 300RUM weigh - all said and done right? Plusses and minuses, but yes, they go boom when you pull the trigger and the bullet will come out the other end.

I know SOMEONE has a 300 RUM with a nutsack tassle...
But do you have the balls to post a picture?

Not enough haha. I haven’t weighed it but I bet 10 pounds plus. I figure if I’m whipping it out for hunt I’m not worried about weight. I haven’t shot anything with that gun since 2009. I honestly seem to find every excuse possible to not pack that gun. I’m not recoil sensitive either. I have scoped myself with it a couple times but that was my fault - poor form and steep downhill. It’s a great shooting gun but for all the reasons you listed. I don’t plan to shoot it much except for when I want a 200 plus grain projectile on target at 500 plus which will be very rare

What? Most people lugging around a 300RUM can't want to throw a camera in because they're so heavy?

Here was a quick 4 shot rapid fire at under 50 yards. I kinda just wish I would have had a bow along. Those 4 shots probably fried the the throat more than any of the above calibers I listed times ten.
