Savage 300 Ultra Mag questions...

[Jackson]

Hey all,

I have a Savage .243 that is a really great gun for the money and was thinking about getting a Savage in a 300 Ultra Mag. Anybody have one or have any input on how the Savage compares to, let's say, a Remington 700 in the 300 Ultra Mag? I don't have tons of money to spend on guns, so that's why I've been leaning toward the Savage. Great gun at a great price.

Just looking for some guidance or suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

i've shot the rem 300 ultra mag and i must say at very long distances its an extremely accurate gun for such a heavy caliber.....but unless ur hunting moose or elk u shouldn't need it unless u really want that caliber...i can tell u this if u shot hot wax outta that gun you would still kill deer.....u wont here anything bad about the caliber

What do you hunt were you live? Depending on were you live you may or may not need that caliber, if your just looking to have a bigger gun for more power then yea that would be a good gun, but it also may blow a deer in two if you hit them right...

you aint lying he isn't lying we brought an old chevy 305 motor block out to the woods to shoot at...at 100 yards it was blowing that block into pieces

Take a look at the new Remington model 770. My nephew got one for Christmas and those are pretty sweet shooters. Very nice combo.

Thanks for all the replies fellas. I live in Wisconsin and hunt deer with my
.243 which is a great gun. I've been interested in the .300 UM primarily
for going out west and making the rest of my hunting buddies jealous!

Also, I've found that Remington makes the .300 UM rounds in 3 "stages"
of performance. One of which is supposed to act ballistically like a longer, flatter shooting 30-06. If that IS the case, that'd be pretty darn cool.

Thanks agin for all the help and info.
