TKLambert Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I was buying a gun every year there for awhile and well I have got out of the swing of things. I havent bought a gun in 3 years. I was at a gun show and saw a Remington 700 300 Ultra Mag RMEF (Rocky Mtn. Elk Found.) that I fell in love with on the spot. Well I plan on purchasing the rifle after Christmas and putting a Bushnell Elite on it, at least 50mm with 10x. What are your thoughts on the 300 Ultra Mags performance? And should I put a 3200 or 4200 Elite on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 it's a pretty sweet gun, but it does have a bite to it. maybe test fire it a few times prior to laying out the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 This should be an awesome rifle. If I am not mistaken the RMEF model 700 is the 700 XCR. This is a great rifle in a great caliber. I handled one of these rifles at a local Gander Mountain. The Realtree camo stock is a good looking stock. As far as caliber goes, the .300 Ultra Mag. is a powerful, flat shooting round. I have the 700 Stainless Fluted Sendero and the 700 LSS in this caliber. Sure it has a little recoil but it is not as bad as everyone says. I shot an 8-pointer last Saturday afternoon with my Sendero and I didn't even notice the recoil. The only complaint that I would have with the .300 RUM is that ammo is expensive, and there is not a great selection of factory loads availible. Since the big increase in the past months on Ammunition, a box of .300 RUM went up about $10.00 dollars a box. It you can find a box for under $40.00 you are lucky. If you want the most powerful commercially loaded .300 magnum, ammo cost is just something we'll have to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chappy Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Can't help you much with the gun, but as far as the scope goes get the 4200. Much better scope than the 3200. I have both, and absolutely love my 4200 Elite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
