[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 3048630, member: 1951"] My simple advice would be don’t get a 300 Win Mag. SAAMI has no revision process. This means new calibers in new guns are much better matched chamber to ammo to accuracy. I would be looking at the PRC’s. I would also take a step down in caliber from what I feel is ideal. This is because a better placed lower recoil shot almost always beats a high recoil big boomer for lethality….well, except for Buffalo and Elephants. I would pick a Tikka or a Rem 700 based action. Not a Rem 700, necessarily, but a gun that uses the Rem 700 triggers. I think Bergara, Fierce, Seekins, etc all fit that mold. Since you don’t reload, your focus should be shooting available ammo well. It pains me to say these things as I think the Win 70 is the best hunting action, but it is a journey to get what you want from a Win 70! [/QUOTE]
