Excuse me if I missed this: do you reload? If not, you might want to consider what ammo is readily available? For your stated game animals the 7mm rem mag & 300 win mag are "usually" available. And well suited to sucessful kills out to 600 yds +++??? "Wildcats", AI's, short magnums, SAUltra Mags,,, and other "less than standard cartridges" may leave you without ammo? Correct shot placement!!! with a good quality bonded - partition type 30-06 round, can and has taken most N.A game. Including the "big bears". I own and enjoy 7mm mag's & 338 Lapua mag. Prefer Savage "off the shelf" rifles. And enjoy making them shoot to their full potential. Good luck!Hello all I'm looking at stepping up to a magnum caliber rifle all I've ever had is 308s 30-06 and 270 and 223 and 50 cal muzzle loader.and wanting something with more punch and more reach and a kind of a do all hunt everything but brown bear caliber and be confident in it.ive looked at 300 win mag 7mm mag all the wsm and saums but not sure what would be best.i mostly hunt deer and will be hunting black bear this year and hope able to hunt elk next year. Just would like some info and experience from who ever wants to share some knowledge of what magnum caliber would be good.as far as rifles go I would like to do a semi custom if I can off the rem 700 30-06 action or savage model 11 308 action depending on what caliber.if I'm not able to do that I've looked at windchester,browning, tikka,bergara, and Christiansen arms for factory rifle thanks all in advance
