RE: Browning A-Bolt, Browning X-Bolt or Tikka T3, Winchester Modle 70
I am looking to buy another gun just for elk. After reading quite a bit about the different calibers I would opt for .300 WSM. I would really like the .325 WSM but for some reason the ammo availability isn't anywhere near the .300 WSM. I like Federal Vital Shok factory ammo with 180 gr Barnes TSX and Federal doesn't make a .325 load. Ilike the looks of the new Browning X-Bolt. I haven't had the chance to see one in person though and perhaps I would change to another manufacturer when I get to play around with one at the shop. The .300 WSM is a great caliber for the heavy game but probably over kill for deer sized animals IMO
