personally i dont want that much recoil in a field rifle. if im hunting something 2000 lb + then i understand and will deal with the increased recoil of a higher caliber.
but when i'm hunting elk or smaller game the need for a snap second shot at times greatly outweighs all factors and i want the least recoil possible.
the 300 weatherby imo makes an awesome bench shooter but in the field, i just dont feel its the best option available
Thats the same way I felt about it.
One good thing though, if you ever want to make an awesome mess of coyotes or gophers then get one. I shot long ways down a coyote one evening and there were bits everywhere :rofl:
