I'm not shilling for any one gun maker , I own or have owned Weatherby, Ruger,Remington,Sako,Browning,Savage and Winchester over the years. I might be going out on a limb but Remington 700's in one for{m} or another have probably accounted for more game in a bolt rifle than any two other combined in North America.

I have my doubts on that. *If* Remmy bolts have taken more than Winchester, I can't imagine it's by *that* much.

Regardless, it doesn't really prove anything about Remington, other than popularity. 30-30 rounds have probably still taken more deer in the US than any other cartridge - does that mean it's a flawless round, better than some of the newer offerings?

THANKS FOR YOUR INFO. I ADMIT I'M NOT A RIFLEMAN. THERE IS VERY LITTLE WE CAN SHOOT HERE IN ILLINOISWITH HIGH POWER OTHER THAN TARGET LEGALLY.
SO THIS IS NEW TERRITORY. I'M THINKING IDEALLY I WOULD CHOOSE SOMETHING STAINLESS WITH SYNTHETIC STOCK, LIGHTER WEIGHT IN THE .300WSM RANGE TOPPED BY EITHER A NIKON MONARCH OR LUEPOLD SCOPE 3X9. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I think you are definitely on the right track as far as the type of rifle and caliber, but I would go with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9 or 4.5-14 for my optics.

If it was me, I would pick up a 300 WSM barrel for my Blaser R-93 and sight it in and be good to go.
