coles Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I just got off the phone with my dad and he bought a 300 ultra today. He has been wanting one forever and finally bought one. He bought a Remington SPS Stainless and put a leupold scope on it. Im goin home tomorrow for the weekend and I wanna shoot it, but at the same time i know if i shoot it, ill probably want to buy one. I guess that will probably be another one added onto the list. Anyone else have one? Do you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho_ Elk_ Huntr Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I have 9 of them and they are all Remingtons. Some have been rebarreled. That should answer your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I have 2 of them. My first one was the Remington 700 BDL SS. I took the synthetic stock off and put a Remington Laminated stock on it turning it into a 700 LSS. My second one is a model 700 Stainless Fluted Sendero. I love both of these rifles. They both shoot very well and have more power than anyone could ask for in a .30 caliber. When I bought the first one in 1999, ammo was only $26.99 dollars per box. Now, they are $55.99 dollars and up. This is a major setback to owning this cartridge. The only other setback that I know of is there are limited factory loads available. Remington and Federal are the only two major ammo makers that load for it. There are some smaller ammo makers like Double Tap, Nosler Custom, HSM, Corbon etc. that have a load or two. If you can withstand the extreme high cost of ammo for the .300 RUM, then this is one excellent cartridge. Forget about all of the barrel burning stories, at $50-$60 a box it would take about $3000.00 dollars to burn out a barrel assuming the barrel stays accurate for a thousand rounds. This is the most powerfull, flatest shooting Commercially loaded .30 caliber out there and it is very accurate, these are the reasons that I like mine so well. By the way Recoil is stiff but very tolerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinman802 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 i jsut shot one of these the other day and before i shot it was a little scared about the recoil. it wasnt bad at all. my grandpas 7mm mag was worse than that before he put a recoil pad on it. i loved shooting it, and kinda wish i had one, other than the price of ammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUTSIDER Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I have one, LOVE IT, i am good out to 600 yds with it. they do kick and twist, but with a good recoil pad that is very manageable. There is nothing like shooting a whitetail at over 300 yds straight on, and have the bullet travel down the entire spine and exit above the rear end...ruined the tenderloins and most of the back hams, but shows the true power of the round. LOVE IT!!!! the ammo is expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
