Before today I was going to buy a savage 300 win.mag (also with accu trigger) with the synthetic stock and SS barrel and costs $419. But today I walked into this gun shop in town that is going out of business and they have a HOWA 30.06. with the synthetic stock and SS barrel and it was $417 and is now on sale for $332. So my question is that is there a major difference between the 300 win.mag and the 30.06 round. Will I be able to tell? I am looking to be able to shoot up to 300 yards or maybe a little more and mainly for deer and sometime hopefully elk. So would the 30.06. be good? I plan on getting a Nikon Buckmaster 4-12x50 AO scope to put on which ever gun I buy. The money really dosen't matter but I could put it to go to more accessories. Thank you.
