A new lightweight 300 Win Mag for $400.

[Why not?]

Can hardly believe I'm doing this, but just bought a brand new 300 Win mag that weighs exactly 6 1/2 pounds. Why did I do this!

Obviously it's not my preferred blued steel and lovely walnut, but it cost only $400 plus taxes. Care to guess what it is?

Put a 3-9X40 Burris FF II on it today, then loaded five, 3-shot test loads, using180 gr Hornady SST plinkers. Will report back...

What is going on with me? There is so much plastic in this gun, so embarrassed, heading to the range early in the AM to check it out before anyone else gets there.

Just how early is early? 5:30 there now but it must be daylight. Maybe I should give you a dingle so you get a good bright start on the day.

Tikka. Lots of plastic on those.

Stevens 200, dont get much better than that...

Only thing that price and that light I can think of is an Axis...

 

[brybenn]

Axis isn't chambered in 300wm

Let us know how it shoots

 

[russm86]

Ruger american?

 

[Mightymoose410]

Mossberg 4x4

SOME MORNINGS WE GET UP AND FEEL YOUNG AGAIN! Anyway after the 15 test rounds, you can start the milder loads, lighter bullets and slower velocities.
Enjoy your new toy Ted.

And they also weigh over 7lbs.

 

[hawk-i]

Mossberg?

 

[GMC403]

You found a low priced Browning AB3

 

[freezer filler]

Norinco copy of an Axis?

 

[Gatehouse]

Sounds like a properly priced Tikka

 

[RiMP9]

Great price BUT look out for the recoil unless your shoulders are very muscular for padding.

 

[Hitzy]

Ruger american?

7.5lbs....
I know Ted has a 783 already in 7mm, but it's another heavier rifle.
Now I'm stumped, cheapo Mossberg? TC of some kind?
Mossy is my guess
