[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1269209, member: 69478"] If you are wanting to go with a .300 Win Mag I would strongly consider at least a 24" barrel to burn all of the powder and take advantage of the magnum chambering. A .300 in a lighter rifle is not pleasant as a range gun, but in a hunting situation 1 or 2 shots is not going to kill you. I would recommend a brake in most cases with a light rifle, but if you are wanting a handier rifle than a brake will just add an extra 1.5-2" onto the barrel. Again, if you are only going to be shooting 500 yards or so, you really do not need a .300 Win Mag, a mid sized cartridge is more than capable of delivering more than enough energy to kill an elk at that range.
