[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 460003, member: 505"] cf, thanks for your opinion. You certainly bring out some valid points. I like what you said about none are perfect but I think some are suitable in more situations than others. Really a guy needs 2-3 situational rifles and could just about cover it. I think either of our choices could fit into one of those 2-3 a guy needs to own. For the record two of the last guns I purchased was a Tikka T-3 light in 300 win mag for a lightweight carry rifle this past summer and over Christmas I got a 300 weatherby on clearance at wal-mart. It has been argued for many years by a lot of very knowledgable people that the 300 magnums are the most versatile of all cartridges. With all the bullets out there in .308 it would be hard to argue against it. The longest shot I have ever made on big game was a mule deer at I think was 1340 yards with a 300 wby. I have killed many bears and with the right bullet a 300 does well with any but the huge brownies. Anything else and the 300 makes a mighty good rifle to have. [/QUOTE]
