I will be new to hunting this year and would like some seasoned advice from you all. I have been looking for a big game rifle (elk, moose, etc) and am now thinking the 300 winchester magnum would be a good cartridge. What I would really appreciate is your opinions on is a good, quality rifle. I was looking at the Remington 700 BDL LSS as well as the Ruger M77 Mark II Sporter. Does anybody have any experience with these rifles or would you suggest I look at another brand alltogether? I just don't want to make a mistake I will regret everytime I get out the rifle to go practice or hunt. My local gun shop would have to order the Ruger and has the Remington in stock and is willing to sell it at the Ruger price, should I do it? All help is greatly appreciated!
