[QUOTE="Biggs300, post: 484396, member: 31342"] For years, I've owned a 25-06 which has been my go-to deer rifle. Recently I bought a Browning .300 win mag Stainless Stalker and couldn't be more happy with the accuracy, balance and weight of the gun (under 8 lbs. w/scope). The barrel isn't fully broken-in yet and with cheap rounds (180 grain Rem. Core-lokt's), I'm getting groups of just over 1 inch at 100 yards. I will be doing some fine-tuning with Federal 180 grain Nosler PT Partitions and Accubonds to find which one of the two is more accurate. I will be using one of these rounds on a backpack elk hunt in Co planned for later this year. I thought about getting a .300 Rum but, an old elk hunting guide I know told me that if I was going to subject myself to the recoil punishment of a Rum, I might as well buy a .338 win mag. The .338 win mag is his personal favorite for large game, including bear. [/QUOTE]
