I've had great luck with a savage in .300 wsm as well with handloads. I'm shooting .38" groups with 200gr accubonds. I've got several customs and I pack the savage 99% of the time.

I'd strongly encourage a Western Mountaineering bag as well, but don't skimp on the sleeping pad. I'm a big fan of the Big Agnes Q Core for comfort and performance.

Great post! I had this conversation with a buddy of mine recently while out mule deer hunting. He is an exceptional shooter and loves the "high shoulder" shot. I personally am not as comfortable with it, and this just solidified that for me.
