[QUOTE="jtmoose, post: 1165326, member: 87081"] Please criticize this concept: For steep mountain elk/black bear/deer Mostly timber and brush, 95% of shot opportunity under 200yds .308 Win 18" #4 or 5 contour barrel Elite Hunter lightweight stock Otherwise I'm thinking a 300wsm with a brake but the same length & weight. The 308 would be better for practicing with though. Overall, I just don't think I need a long barrel magnum for shortish range hunting. When I move to more open mountains I can worry about longer range shooting. Heck, would the 300wsm be OK for that too? [/QUOTE]
