I'm in the market for a Gun. After reading tons of posts here I still can't decide. I'm looking for a caliber big enough for Elk and Shots out to 500 yards or so.
Right now I have an older 30-06 but I want a 300 magnum of some kind. I've seen the ballistic charts and the 300 win mag, 300 Weatherby and 300 RUM are all relatively close. I'm leaning towards the Remington 700, either the SPS or XCR. I'm not going to reload.
I'm looking to put a Leupold VX3 4.5x14 on it with the B&C reticle but unsure of whether I should go 40 or 50 MM and also AO if I go with the 50.
What do you guys who shoot these guns think? Any likes or dislikes over one or the other?
