Thread: Looking to buy a new 300 win mag for my new scope any suggestions please

Your t3 should shoot better than that. As was said it needs looking at by someone who knows what they're doing. A 300 isn't really needed under 800yds, probably even 1000. A 7mag will do that. For what you're doing you have probably a good choice now. I use my 300 mostly for gongs 600+ and the only reason I take it hunting over my 7mag is it's a lot lighter. When I sort the weight of my 7mm out I will hardly ever use my 300 as it's more than needed 95% of the time for game. Also at 650yds the 7mm using 180's barely dents my gong where the 300 almost goes right through. my gong life will be longer(engineer gave me scrap bis80 not 400!) Maybe sort your t3 and get a smaller rifle/lighter caliber for your son instead?
