[QUOTE="The Trinity Kid, post: 1314665, member: 91382"] Wow...I'd kind of intended the 300 as a joke, but it seems to be a popular choice. :D Honestly though, I don't know how well I could justify a magnum. Around here, the game I'm shooting is hardly what you'd call "big." The biggest bear I've seen was only around 180-200lbs, while the deer my mom shot was less than 75lbs gutted. Elk are the biggest creatures, but the average in the zone I'll be in is around 400lbs. I also mostly hunt in the woods anyway, where shots are under 100yds. I just occasionally might need a shot around 400ish. The '06 will do just as well as the 300WM for 95% of what I do, and for less money. Though, I do see Sportsman's is having a sale on Model 70 Alaskans...:rolleyes: --TK [/QUOTE]
