300wsm

I'm a new elk hunter. I recently purchased a 300wsm Vanguard stainless topped with a Bushnell 4200 Elite 3.5x10. Shoots great out of the box. Great clarity on the optics. After adjusting the trigger down, which was easy to do, the gun is a pleasure to shoot..

I've taken it to the range 3 times and it is a real pleasure to shoot. The new wsm has less kick than my friends 300 with muzzle break. The 300wsm is a great caliber.

Looking forward to my first hunt this fall.

Good hunting.

Congrats on the new purchase. The Bushnell 4200 is a scope I wouldn't mind trying as well.

Last time at the range compared it with a buddies Leopold...better clarity on the Bushnell....couldn't believe it. Great value for the money.

Hunting Tip: Trail Camera Placement

When placing a trail camera don't just look for a well used trail. What you want to do is look for a freshly used trail off by itself that goes from a north facing ridge, thick forest, brushy knob or some other similar bedding area to a food source. Don't forget water sources. Especially in the summer months the deer need water so look for a good trail going down too a creek surrounded by thick cover and place the camera 100 yards up from the water source. Scent control is very important...
