[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1473885, member: 55944"] Do you have a goal of any kind other than just getting a new rifle? Is there something you would like this rifle to do better than the 300 wsm? If you want a fun rifle to hunt with that is cheap to shoot, a lot, and the barrel will last a long time, while helping you learn wind judging etc... a .308 Winchester would be a good choice. If you are looking for something that is more efficient with better ballistics than the 300 wsm try a 7mm or 6.5mm of some variety. The 6.5-47 Lapua, 6.5mm Creedmoor, 260 Remington, 6.5x55, 6.5-284, and 6.5 saum are all fun and capable cartridges. For 7mm's the 280 ai, 7saum, 7wsm, 7 rem mag should all fit the bill as well; all coming in with less recoil than the 300wsm. If you are a nostalgic hunter its hard not to love a good 270 Winchester.
