tucker1 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi guys, I'm seriously looking at the R1 in 300 win mag for big game hunting out west (antelope, mule deer, elk, goat, sheep etc). Anyone have one or have any experience with one? Any specific thoughts on accuracy, recoil, reliability etc? Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

energizer Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I have the 300 r1 for moose and bear. I would say that other than the elk you listed the 300 is somewhat over kill. I would recomend the 270 as an all around go to gun. Great for elk. Not too small for moose and black bear. It would be my "one gun only" choice. I have a 257 wby mag for the critters u list.
