Nothing wrong with the rifle or cartridge for what you've stated. Only potential warning or thought is OTC ammo availability for the 300 sav chambering in your area. Unless your going to reload then...poof their goes that worry.

If you do plan on buying OTC ammo then a 308win would be a good place to start. Like mentioned sim. to the 300savage but way more popular, finding ammo is never an issue with the .308win.

Good Luck
