That is an excellent buck! Congratulations!

I, too, hunt with a .300 Savage. Mine is a Remington 722 and I love the gun. It's short, light, easy to carry and handle, and packs enough power for the shots in my range (100 yards and in). I took a 100 lbs. doe with it this year and was really thankful; it was my first deer.

I'm new to hunting and shooting, but it's my understanding that the .300 Savage was replaced by the .308 Winchester. Is that correct?

Again, congrats on the great buck!
