I have 4 of them...
264 Win Mag
7mm Rem Mag
300 H&H
375 H&H
I'll go with 300 H&H for the win, in part because the rifle in which I have this cartridge is a real peach (Cooper Jackson Game with a Leupold VX6)
Agreed. My favorite whitetail deer rifle is a Rem 700 LSS in 7MM SAUM. It's everything I want for the type of hunting I do with it.
BTW, I just joined the .338 club (a formerly missing caliber for me) with a new Cooper Excalibur - a worthy candidate for my upcoming elk hunt. I (kind of) had...
I have some nice Brownings, Winchesters, and Remingtons. My Coopers are simply on a different level in terms of fit and finish, trigger pull, and accuracy. It can hard (not impossible - LOL) to justify the new prices I'm seeing from a purely rational perspective. But who ever said that buying...
I love my Cooper rifles! I'm fortunate to have gorgeous Model 52s in both 264 Win Mag and (my favorite rifle) 300 H&H. I've been thinking about adding another to my collection, but the new ownership there seems to have initiated quite the price hike. Rifles that retailed for around $3000 just...

What a great rifle and caliber combination! Congratulations. I have a BLR in 284 Winchester that I love, but it's a safe queen - less than one box of ammo through it to sight it in. Nice Leupold scope, too. Unfortunately, 284 ammo is practically impossible to find, certainly at any...
Thank you all for helping me understand the likely experience and set appropriate/realistic expectations. This hunt will be a bucket list thing for me, although one I hope to repeat over the coming years. I'm not new to hunting or firearms, but my big game hunting experience is limited to...
Such good insights and advice. Thank you! I've read through the collective responses to my posts a few times now and I very much appreciate having all this information. I'm going to let everything "percolate" and I'll probably come back here with another question or two, if anything new...
