Brandon, sounds like that combo with the Nikon is actually a good deal. I am an avid Nikon user. Every firearm I have that has glass has Nikon glass on it. USUALLY I am with most the other on here as far as combo deals being a bad idea but you USUALLY see junk glass on them not a decent quality scope. I am also with everyone on you NOT needing a .300WM to start out with. Just because you are big doesn't make you automatically recoil tolerant. I'm a little over 6'5" and average around 260# and I really hate the recoil from many of my rifles. My .500NE double would make a Brown bear sit down and cry from either end A good .30-06 is more than sufficient to take anything on this continent as long as you use the proper bullet and put that proper bullet where it's supposed to go. I've dropped several Moose right where they were with my 06's. In all actuality, the .300WM really has no advantage over the 06 until you pass around 400 yards or so.
