I have the choice to get a replacement gun from Remington. The model will be SPS stainless 26" barrel. Would you go with a 300 win mag or a 300 ultramag? As of right now I plan on putting it in a XLR Industries chasis.
Thanks

The 300 rum isn't any more overbore than the 7stw is Muddy.If you want to get any sort of barrel life out of your gun, go with the .300 WinMag.
If you are pounding elk or moose beyond 1,000 yards, then the .300 Ultra.
But if this is mostly a target rifle doing some hunting on the side, and you plan on shooting it a bunch, go with the .300 WinMag.

I've got hundreds of runds down my 300rum lh bdl and the bore looks new and shoots as well as when I got it. The 300rum is spendier to load but you can load it down to 300win ballistics easily. You can't load up a 300win to 300rum levels. It is more of a can you take the recoil thing here but a good muzzle brake kills that problem. I like the 300win and shoot the heck out of it, but the rum is a bit better performer than the 300win.
