I talk a lot of times before doing research and using common since. Yall are completely correct and I would say it is a barrel burner from hell. Sure, I would love one but putting a high dollar piece of glass on top of about any rifle that pushes a pill about 3200 with some weight is just as good. The barrel and throat would last much longer. I love speed and flat shooting rifles.
They make a thing called a range finder and if you use it,, plus have a good glass, a 308,257,300 or what ever would do just as good. The 6.5/300 might be great but like RR said,, the 264 mag is knocking on its back door. My 6.5 REM MAG is nocking on the back door of the 264 and I don't have any complaints about it, out to 500.
Win came out with the short mags and super short mags. I haven't played with them and never will because I have yet to see one that will shoot like hell for groups. Rem done the RUM thing and I have almost all of them. I haven't fired some but the 7RUM will indeed scream with crazy accuracy. Do I like it? Hell no in a way. It kicks like a freaking team of mules,, It eats powder like a pasture of cows munching on grass and the 7mm mag will do the same or about and haven't burnt the barrel out in 35 years.
I might say stupid stuff from time to time but if you pay attention,, most of the rifles I brag about or show spooky group out of,,, IS THE OLD BUT GOOD STUFF.
I would kiss Weatherby's A$$ on the court house steps and give them 2 days to draw a crowd if they gave me a 6.5/300 but im not sinking 4000 in the rifle for sure. Yea, the other money is for scope,brass and dies,,,,, if that would touch it
