Looking at getting a 300 WinMag in either a PH2 or an Element. Leaning towards the Element, but recoil may be an issue with a 6 pound gun shooting a 300 WinMag. I’ve shot a 300 for many years, but they are all heavier guns in the 8 pound range. I want a lighter gun this time, but I’m not sure what is too light concerning recoil for this caliber. The other issue is the PH2 has a 24” barrel. The Element has a 20” barrel. I wish I could get the 24” on an Element, and I can, but that is an additional $600. I will not be using a suppressor. I might use a brake at the range, but not when I’m hunting.
