I think you made an excellent choice. I have 11 different Brownings ranging from 223 to 45-70. I have 1 Remington 22-250 and if the deal I got was not as good as it was, I would have 12 Brownings.
I have been using them for the last 20 years and never had a problem that I did not cause. The customer service is exceptional, I had the forgrip on mu A5 mag split while out on a hunt, called Browning, sent it back to them. 2 weeks later I received a new forgrip with the cracked one to show finish match. Inside there was a letter from the person that checked out my gun, "The reason for the split was due to overtightning of the tube cap on the forgrip." Clearly my fault, but they still replaced it free of charge, cost me $8 to ship it to them.
I have both the 300 and the 7mm in the medallion, and I love them both. I buy all my guns with the boss on them, I use the vented boss at the range and it knocks the recoil of my 7mm to about the same as my Rem 22-250. I work up my loads, set the boss, and change to the boss-cr to hunt. It reduces the noise alot.
You really have some versatility with the 300, I have shot 125gr ballistic tips at dogs, makes 1 heck of a mess (we also judge each other on hangtime and splatter coverage), and have shot 220 gr Partitions loads on a bear trip to Canada 2 years ago, BTW-the partition smashed both shoulders and kept getting it out the other side. I use 70gr of RL25 fed 215gm primers with fed gm brass for the 220s. Start at about 64gr and work up. I think you can probally cover what ever you want to with it.
