Re: In the Market for a 300 WSM
hey, i just bought a Browning BLR in a .300 WSM last sunday and I LOVE IT lol. i used to use a Remington 700 .300 Win. Mag and i loved that gun, but it was a pain without a detatchable clip and carrying the 3 foot shells so i loved dad's BLR in a .308 and i went with the 300 WSM because i like the magnum calibers. i think this is the perfect caliber because it is a short shell and the recoil is very minimal, i find that my WSM has a smaller recoil than dad's 308 and my brother's .270 in the BLR. it is a short shell, .308 in length and the width of the cartridge is based on the .416 Rem Mag. but when i compare widths with my .300 Win Mag, it is not that much bigger. good luck with your purchase, i would reccomend the Browning BLR any day.
