RE: which gun? 30-06 or .300 magnum
 

For one gun I would take the 300 mag.It will do anything the 30-06 will do at a longer distance.

I WOULD GO FOR THE 30-06 GOOD GUN AND WON'T COST AND ARM AND LEG FOR AMMO. GOOD LUCK

go for the .300, savages rock.

RE: which gun? 30-06 or .300 magnum
 

Go for the 300 win mag. Given the game in that part of the country a little fire power isn't going to hurt. If you are looking to pick up the rifle in Winnipeg, give MacDonalds in Portage a call. They have good pricing and the people there actually know what they are talking about!

300 mag by far.

A 30-06 has a lot of varietys of shells but the 300 has a lot of power

Unless you plan on shooting griz. The .30-06 is ideal. As already stated, the ammo is cheaper. Factory loads go from 125 grain (varmit) to 220 (Moose). If you handload you can shoot 100grain - 250grain.

In my yonger days, I had the mentality, more power is better. Now I know it's not necessary. Anything you can take with a .300, I can take with the .30-06. I won't spend as much doing it, and after practicing for a few hours, my shoulder thanks me for it. Actually, I starting using my .243 for deer hunting. My .30-06 is now my Bear / Moose rifle.

In Short - Go with the .30-06!

dont buy a cheapo savage. i have owned more then 30 rifles and i feel the savages are the "less quality" rifle. if your only gonna shoot it a 100 times in the life of the gun then go for it. a winchester,browningor my favorite the weatherby are much better products. the 06 will take down any game on the planet and is a good starter gun. the 300 will take down the same game faster but the recoil can be intimidating for a first time buyer.

does a .300 win mag kick more than a break action 12 gauge? just wondering.
