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.

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.
