One Response to “.35-300 Magnum Tactical Precision Rifle”

  • Jeff Says:

    Which is the superior rifle? The 358 Taylor or the 35-300?

    If both rifles are similar, what is felt recoil comparison on both rifles? One has a muzzlebrake, the other doesn’t.

    Looking for advise on this caliber b/c I am building a 35 caliber Wildcat. Please send research info regarding both calibers.

    Good Day & Good Shooting
