[QUOTE="kshunter, post: 1142596, member: 19377"] There are many great suggestions here. The 300 win mag is a great round imo you should stick with it. If you want options I think the rem 700 is hard to beat. If you like to tinker and re-barrel to diff calibers yourself I like savage. If you want something different let a competent smith work your ruger over. I personally like savage because I feel they offer a better trigger, I don't have to lap the bolt lugs and I have one receiver/scope combo that I can swap out barrels for kicks and grins. End of the day I really think it boils down to personal preference because a well put together rifle machined properly whether from the factory or smith is going to work well. Lol I bought a savage axis on sale two years ago at wal-mart for $230. Took it home made a homemade trigger adjustment threw a descent scope on it and stuffed some 168 nosler bthp's over a mild charge of Benchmark powder and bout wet my pants at how accurate it was while I was breaking in the barrel. Lol hard to believe but that little booger would spit out 3 shot groups of 4 inches at my 750 yard gong all day long. [/QUOTE]
