300 Win. Mag. ! But if I were to buy a new gun,it would be a 7mmSTW
The 300-win mag is my old & proven elk rifle.
I would say the 300-win mag is a better all-aroud gun for hunting in the west, from the list you provided.

I would actually have to say the 270 or 280 only because those are the two rifles that we have at hunting camp and we have never had a problem with either one but if i get a new rifle its gonna be the 7mm rm

What do you think is the best all around cartrige for hunting anything from antelope to bull elk in Wyoming? The 300 win mag, the 7mm rem mag, the 30-06, or the 270 win?

Any of those is excellent. I am now using a 7mm Rem. Mag., but used a 270 Win. for over 20 years with entire satisfaction. However, the .300 Win. has just a little bit of an edge on the other three, not much, but some!
