[QUOTE="bowkill02, post: 985956, member: 28164"] hello fellas. Im a flatlander from eastern Pa and I just completed my first western big game hunt last fall. I went out for mule deer and antelope, and I took along a 257rob and an old 270win. We hunted public land later in the season so game was a little spooky but I didn't feel under gunned until the last day when I tried stalking a real nice mule deer buck. Because of the terrain I couldn't get any closer than 570yards, which I didn't feel comfortable with using my rifle. So my buddy handed my his 300RUM which ended our hunt with all tags filled. Now I really don't feel a ULTRA mag is necessary but I believe I will be returning west again real soon for maybe some elk or more mule deer, and I would really like a dedicated rifle capable of handling the terrain and size of critters out there. I'm torn between an 7mm rem mag and the 300win. am I thinking in the right ball park? I would really like to hear your imput and suggestions. [/QUOTE]
