One more thought.A 300 WM is a real big step from a 22 and hitting well is more important than hitting hard.
It is not easy to shoot a 300 well.It may be good to shoot some 7MM Express,or 30/06 ,etc before you spend your money. You must be able to maintain focus on the crosshairs with your eyes open while you get spanked.Enjoy,HiBC
PS,Get a scope with some eye relief and dont get too close to it.
