ORIGINAL: rut n strut
I have owned the same Ruger M77 in 30.06 for 20 years. It has served me very well on hunting Whitetails here in Wisconsin. I am planning on doing some western hunting in the next few years for Mule Deer and Elk and am feeling the itch for a new gun. I am thinking of getting a 300 Winn Mag or 300 WSM. Am I gaining that much with these over my good ol .06?
I'd use 180 NP's in the 30-06 and go hunting! If your dieing to spend money, upgrade your scope if needed, and buy some really good bino's!
Practise, practise, practise, is a hundred times better than a new gun!!
