[QUOTE="warboar21, post: 2374044, member: 88146"] My uncle lives back east and has come out west to hunt with me for the past few years. My suggestion to him was bring your deer rifle that you already shoot and know well. If your 270Win is heavy with a laminate wood stock then I would suggest buying a light weight Bell & Carlson stock. My uncle was shooting a Browning Xbolt with a fancy wood stock and he put a light weight B&C stock on it and now it shoots a bit better he said and it is certainly lighter to pack at 10K-11K elevation. If you are looking for an excuse to buy a new rifle then I say go for it. There are so many choices out there in Caliber and manufacturers now that make it hard. My biggest piece of advice I can give is to not go buy a caliber that is hard to get and cost prohibitive. If you're not reloading or considering to start reloading then I would stay away from any of the non common cartridges that are established and been around more than say a decade. If you look up the price of ammo now 300 PRC is $135 to 160 a box of 20 when I looked on ammo seek. 300WM is less than half that and 270Win is even cheaper. [/QUOTE]
