RE: which gun? 30-06 or .300 magnum
The .300 magnum certainly has the edge here...but only if you can shoot it.You don't say if you have any other shooting experience but if not,then the .30-06 will a better choice for you.Recoil in a .300 gets to be brutal after a box or two,and since accuracy is a must,practice is essential.Get a Savage,forget the Remington.
