    Any reason not to use a 300 PRC for Plains Game??

    Trophy Room Question

    Not a comment on size, but in materials. I am in the process of designing my house and trophy room and will be putting 3/4" plywood on all the walls of the trophy room. This will allow you to place a mount anywhere, not just a stud.
