I have one in 300win mag. I wanted a magnum in stainless and liked the overall package on paper. 5r rifling was a plus and I have some nostalgia for a Remington 300 because my dad shot one years ago. Bought it sight unseen after reading a couple of favorable reviews and an article.
I don’t have a lot of rounds through it and haven’t hunted it yet. It shoots 3/4 inch groups with factory ammo at 100yards. Fit and finish are good. I dropped a timmeny trigger in it because I still have some concern about the factory Remington despite their changes. Not exactly a fact based or rational position but it is what it is.
I am also thinking about putting some bottom metal in it.
Not a bad gun and I got a fairly good price. It is a “midweight” though. Not heavy but not light. I think it is pushing 8.5 lbs with a scope, base and rings. I put it together with someheavier parts so I could have shaved it down. If I wanted a backpacking gun I might go something lighter.
Knowing what I know now, I think I would have bought a tikka lite or something. Just lighter and more function for the money. To be clear, my issues are ones of an evolving preference as opposed to any issues with performance.
