Which magnum rifle

[JimIsland]

As a father, I'd be tickled pink that he enjoys hunting enough to be wanting a new caliber. My son shoots a 300 Win Mag. It's a Savage High Country with some weight to it. Suppressed, it's a soft shooter and he shoots dimes with it. Word of advise: If he ends up with one and it's not suppressed, make sure he wears ear protection even in the field. A 300 win mag with a brake, is a brutal SOB on your ears.

Got a recommendation on a good brake?

My first rifle was a Kimber Montana 7-08.

When I was wanting a larger rifle I built a 7 saum. No regrets.

Thanks

Cortina EC Tuner, then Ace precision followed by Fat Bastard Gen 4. Can’t go wrong with any of them.

I also started using a shoulder recoil shield in high school and it makes shooting it more enjoyable. It’s a stiff memory foam and spreads out pressure quite well. They are 1/2” thick and I eventually cut down all my stocks 1/2”, and still do to this day, so using it felt quite natural.

Thanks for the tip. I will look into getting him one

Which suppressor are you using? I think I want to eventually go that route

The hellfire or fat bastard brakes are my favorites. The badger thruster brake is another good one

Good looking rifle

He’s killed quite a few deer and hogs with his 7-08 but like most young men and alotta older ones, he’s got the itch for a new rifle. I really like the Seekins and will be ordering one for myself next week. He’s set on a HMR and I think the extra weight may be a good thing

Bergara quality control has been considered to be hit and miss, from my understanding; however, I do not own one, so I can't say for sure.
