[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1194502, member: 30902"] The 300 Rum is awfully expensive to shoot and the recoil is less than pleasant unless you are shooting suppressed or braked so before buying one I always encourage people to see if they can shoot one belonging to a friend or "range gun" at a local range. The 300wm however is a great choice for anything in North America as is the 7mm RM. The latter will be more than adequate with the exception of big bears where heavier projectiles and deeper penetration comes into play. There are lots of options out there for "mountain rifles" which is probably what you are looking for. Christiansen Arms makes a great looking product but they are so light they'll pound on you pretty hard in the magnum calibers and to be honest I see so many of them for sale "like new" or "barely used" or "under a hundred rounds down the tube" I've been shyed off of them. Montana Rifle Company and Kimber make some nice mountain rifles and if you came across an older model Remington Mountain Rifle you might find yourself a nice bargain, and not find yourself so deeply in financially that if you needed to rebarrel it wouldn't push you past your limit. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
