Was open to opinions on selecting a caliber to be used mainly for mule deer and some elk. I already have 300RUM, but it is a tank to carry at over 15lbs, so I was looking for a lightweight pack rifle in factory chambering. Was thinking about a 270wsm as it would be in between my 300ultra and 25wssm, but as said above, I am open to your thoughts. Also, I am really torn between which rifle to go with. I have remmys, a winny, and savage and all of them are great shooters. Guess I'm just trying to say what should I go with for out of the box accuracy. I know I can always rebuild any of those three later on down the road, but how are the brownings or tikkas? Just want to get a good out of the box rifle that I don't have to worry about messing with too much to take an elk or deer with a little ways out. Forgot to mention shots would probably max out at 600-700 yards. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
