I think I am going to pick up a 300 WM. This will be primarily for elk. I am more interested in accuracy than looks or weight.

Any suggestions?

That would be an excellent choice, IMO. I have really grown fond of the new Winchester M70 Extreme Weather's. I have one in 270 Winchester, topped with a Zeiss Conquest.

2 more rifles I think I "need" ~ a .270 and a .300 WM

Great elk caliber!

I didn't realize that Weatherby came out with a Series 2 Vanguard. I have been reading reviews on it and it sounds like it is a great rifle with Sub MOA guarenteed with 3 shot groups. I will need to check one out.

Only 2 more? haha.... .270 is my favorite all around caliber and I use it the most for just about everything, but I do love my 300 WM when I need it.

Yup as soon as I get back I will be picking one up.

I had one of the newer Weatherby Vanguards in .300 WSM and the accuracy was outstanding plus, they are a real "looker"---Against my better judgement, I sold it to a guy at the range that offered me too much to turn down, mainly due to how accurately it shot---the Vanguards are the most rifle I've seen for the cost---a little heavy, but dead on accurate--- John

Got .243 for both deer & yotes (M700 might be my most accurate), got 7MM RM ~ shoots as flat as a .270 and hits as hard as a .30-06 (i'm a believer).

.338 WM if I in bear country - period.


Want the .270 for deer exclusively and the .300 for elk.


BTW - Always look for your posts also !
