I have 2 300 Win Mag rifles and several 308 rifles, along with couple thirty-ought-six, 243, plus AKs and ARS, and 375 Ruger and H and H, and 30-30 rifles.
So i was Not looking at getting additional caliber when I posted about getting a nice 300win mag, preferably Threaded to use with an Omega suppressor I'm waiting to clear.
I was looking exclusively at Sako 300 Win Mag s in mostly model 85 , Finnbear, Gray Wolf or the cheaper A7 or Finnlight.
But only reply was from member touting 300 WSM with which I have no experience. So how does 300 Winchester short mag actually stack up against 300 Winchester magnum and where would 308 which I shoot a lot of fit in?
Are there any real advantages 2 adding 300 Winchester short mag?
I'm looking for something with more punch than a 308 4 knockdown power, and yes, before everybody jumps in I understand that shot placement is a big factor but what are the capabilities primarily of the Winchester short mag and any distinct advantages it offers? Or am I best served keeping it simple in a caliber I already stock and respect like 300 Win Mag?
anybody's experience on different models of Sako and whether it is worth it to get a True Sako like a model 85 or 75 or if the A7 is close enough?
I have a Tikka t3 lite 308 which is probably the best bolt action rifle I own so how much more would an A7 or model 85 do for me?
