.300 Winchester Mag bolt-action (Continued) The .300 is the biggest of the big when it comes to deer hunting. This rifle is perfect for those shots through thick cover where smaller calibers would be deflected and become harmless to game animals. It is also Plenty enough power for big game like elk. This model sports fluting. Fluting can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Some advantages are The barrel cool/heats faster. It also supposedly creates more consistent muzzle flip, but this can be just a crazy assumption. It also makes the rifle lighter which can be

good or bad. Fluting a barrel can create unrecoverable stresses that will encourage warping when heated and can also swell the bore dimensions, causing loose spots in the bore. A solid (un-fluted) barrel is more rigid than a fluted barrel of equal diameter. A fluted barrel is more rigid than a solid barrel of equal weight. All rifle barrels flex when fired. Accuracy requires that they simply flex the same and return the same each time they are fired, hence the requirement for a pillar bedded action and free floating barrel. Over a long period of time and shooting the barrel will loose all accuracy and may blow up. This is why fluting is still being disputed of worth it or not. This gun is known for its long range capabilities, and knockdown power. It is a bit heavier than the .243 and .270 but not by much.
