I’ve had my Remington 770 chambered in .300 Win Mag for a couple of years now. The accuracy has been impressive out to 400 yards, especially with the right ammunition. Overall, a solid choice for hunting!

That’s great to hear! How’s the recoil? I’ve heard the .300 Win Mag can be a bit brutal from lighter rifles.

The recoil is noticeable, but manageable. It definitely has a kick compared to my .270 Win, but with a good shoulder pad, it makes it easier to shoot consistently.

I’ve shot a few other rifles, and I found the 770’s recoil to be less punishing than my friend’s Weatherby. It might be a good entry rifle for the caliber.

Overall, the 770 is underrated. I’ve shot a friend’s Savage Axis in .300 Win Mag, and while it’s good, the 770 has a more comfortable, ergonomic stock.

Is the weight of the rifle a factor in your decision? I’ve noticed lighter rifles can help with maneuverability but have more recoil.

13

Good point! The 770 is a bit heavier, which I appreciate for stability. That weight does help to mitigate some of the recoil effects.

14

That makes a lot of sense! Weight can be a double-edged sword though, right?

15

Absolutely! Stability is key, but carrying it around all day can be tiring! It’s something to consider based on the hunt you’ll be doing.

True! Any humorous stories about your experiences with the .300 Win Mag? I love a good tale.

One time, I was sighting in at the range, and I accidentally didn’t shoulder it correctly… let’s just say the scope made a more personal acquaintance with my forehead! Lesson learned!

I’ve been using the .300 Win Mag in my Remington 770 for a few years now. The Hornady Precision Hunter rounds have performed exceptionally well for deer hunting. They hit hard and are quite accurate.

I’ve heard great things about those! Have you tried any other brands like Winchester or Barnes? I’m curious if they stack up.

I prefer Winchester Super-X for my Remington 770. It’s reliable and good for both plinking and hunting. The price is also reasonable compared to others. Have had zero jams too.
