[QUOTE="Highclimber, post: 906708, member: 76264"] Hi all, While I am new to the forum, I have enjoyed reading and learning quite a bit from you guys for a while now. I currently have a Remington 700ltr in .308 and am shopping for a .300Win Mag. I like the idea of having the additional range and bullet energy past 300yds(and up to 1000 someday if not at least for fun) and that it is somewhat flatter shooting. The purpose of this new rifle will be hunting elk and possibly black bear. The rifles: Weatherby Vanguard S2 Deluxe in .300Win Mag....$850 Two stage trigger, 24" blued #2 contour barrel (not free floated) with high polish walnut 7.5lbs [url=http://www.weatherby.com/product/rifles/vanguard_2/deluxe]Vanguard® Series 2 Deluxe | Weatherby.com[/url] Remington 700P in .300Win Mag....$950 26" free floated bull barrel, parkerized finish in HS stock, 2 swivel studs for sling/bipod 9lbs [url=http://www.remingtonle.com/rifles/700p.htm]Remington Law Enforcement - Rifles - Model 700P Standard[/url] The wood stocked weatherby is beautiful, but I am concerned about the POI being altered by different meteorological conditions (mostly high humidity as I live in Houston).
