RE: New rifle
I would go with the Weatherby Accumark in the .300 Weathery or the .340 Weatherby mag. Both can be down loaded or at thier best kill anything in these parts. The scope depending in distance, but probably the the new Leupold Vari X III 4.5 - 14.5 50mm with 30mm tube and side focus. I would use 180 gr in both. Probably Barnes triple shocks or partitions. Maybe Accubond. Good Luck!!
