I am looking at buying a new bolt action rifle. I am wanting an all around good gun. I might use it for big game such as bear or elk. I am looking at .300 win mag. I had a 30-06 and loved it but I got rid of it because I had a brain fart and traded for another gun. I am looking to extend my range. I think the .300 might do just that. I was also looking at the remington 700 BDL. Basically I was wondering what the general idea is about the .300 win mag or should I look at a 7mm. .308, 30-06 Those are the 4 I would like to choose from and I would also like to know what your thinkg about the Remington 700 BDL or is there a better gun out there. I would also like a gun I can customize. ie. maybe a bull barrel different stock, scope. etc.
Thanks

I personally think a 300 win. mag would be too big so dont go that crazy

Personally, and this is just my humble opinion, I'd go with a .270.

Have you considered splitting the difference and looking at a 7-mag? I hear those 175 gr nosler partitions are flat shooting and hell on elk and bears. I use a .308, but the cartridges I was really leaning toward were the .300WSM and the .270WSM, but I enjoy shooting outside of hunting and I wasn't about to shell out the extra money for ammo.

I agree and my next choice would be a 30-06, either in a 700 Remington of course.

either a 7mm mag or a 30-06. Either will kill big game as my father killed many many elk with a Remington .223 mini 14 rancher in Idaho.

Depending on how recoil sensitive you are but all are great i'd go 7mag or 308 but over all I'm a 270fan. The Remington 700 bdl is a great gun I've got 2 one in 270 the other in 7mm rem.mag if you like it get it all the rounds will work on anything in the united states if you do your part.

Which bears are you looking to hunt ?

You may just need that .300 WM you were looking at..............or bigger !!!

took a bull moose and 2 deer with my 7mag this year,my friend also used my 7mag to take his moose,i also have an 06 and have owned a 308.i like the 7mm rem mag the best.you might want to look at savage rifles,just as acurate at half the price of a 700.my 06 is a 700 my 7mm is a savage,the savage is more accurate.maybe its because of the cal but im sold on savage and the 7mm rem mag for an all around gun.
