I have had both in Remington 700s. When I shot a bunch the 300 Weatherby recoil was manageable but stout. I sold the rifle a few years back and don’t miss it. The 30-06 has been my go to.
Getting closer to buying glass for the new rifle. Are Zeiss / Swarovski or similar scopes that are 5 or 10 years old something to look at or are new scopes that much advances in glass / clarity / coatings?
