I live in alberta canada.. every year i have a tag in my pocket for deer, elk, bear, and on occasion a moose. You dont need a magnum anything for what you want to hunt.. I use a 06 for everything, it shoots very well to 350 yards. Buddy has a 300 mag and his distance isa lil bitlonger.. but ill tell you he shoots a whitetail with that magnum and you are tossing away 30% of the available meat on that animal,, and he takes almost twice the kick with that gun! get an 06 with a good scope,, get some good shooting 165 grain bullets and you can kill any animal in north america with that round!
