RE: New Gun - What should I get?
Mr.G
All of those guns will do just fine for what you are looking at.
I use my 300 with a light load for sheep, not for the killing power, but for the flat shot. Sheep are a soft animals, they die real easy.. maybe the falling down the mountain has something to do with it..lol
If the price is the same, go with the biggest you can get, I have both 300, and 7mm. I would say take the 300.
I would stay clear of the winchester models, unless you can get it with a clip. I will never buy a gun that does not have a clip, and I would never buy a single shot.
The laws here are that the only way you can have a rounds in your gun is if you are walking. So a clip is nice for when you jump off the quad to get a shot at an animal.
I would look at a muzzle break if you are buying a carbide, if it is available, and I would buy synthetic, and stainless.
hope that helps you some.
