My family is looking at getting a new gun for my Dad as a surprise in the next month or so and I have been put in charge since I am the only one that hunts. I shoot a 300 rum cdl topped with a vortex hs lr that shoots just under moa and it has a break installed. He loves this gun and it is the purpose he wants a new one.
He has mentioned he wants synthetic and doesn't really care for a break cause of the noise but I don't want too much recoil it's not fun to shoot. He says he wants a 300 but at the same time the only critter he will hunt with it besides deer and antelope is possibly a once in a life time moose. He will only hunt elk with a bow. So far I have limited my search to a Winchester weather extream or a Sako A7 big game. In either 7mm mag or 300 win. Both are at the very top of our price point for the bare rifle. I am just looking for input if there is anyone with experience with these guns and input on caliber. Or if there are any other suggestions. He would like the ability to shoot fairly accurate out to 800 yards at the range just so a 400-500 yard shoot in the field is a lot easier.
