[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 989465, member: 20646"] Your 25-06 will do for the antelope, but I personally wouldn't go after muley's with it. This is a highly debated subject though so I hope to not create a topic shift..... For the muley's and elk, I'd stay with what you already have comfort with - the 300 WSM - even though every rifle "feels" differently when shooting (even the same rifle model/chambering can feel different). However, it doesn't sound like the 300WSM is your rifle so you'd be acquiring a new one? If so and you're not into reloading (as yet!), choose a cartridge you can find ammo for just about anywhere. Here in CO, I can find 300Win mag on the shelf in many places. As to choosing a Rem700 or a Weatherby Mark V (or a Savage or _____), choose the rifle that feels better in *your* hands and what you feel more confident with. Either one will deliver the accuracy needed for your intended purpose. If you decide to "hotrod" your rifle later there are plenty of options in either platform, but the Rem700 does have more options and qualified professionals to do the work for you. [/QUOTE]
