I've hunted with a Remington 700 BDL for years in 30-06 topped with a 3x9 leupold. On my long high hunt trips the metal rusts and stock absorbs water after a couple days of rain and snow(no complaints other than that). I'm selling some pistols and rifles to get some cash for a new mule deer/elk rifle and I'm thinking of sticking with 30-06(I don't handload-06 ammo is available everwhere and won't break the bank). I'm thinking of getting either a sako or the weatherby accumark topped with a Zeis 3x10 conquest. Is there any preference for one rifle over the other? Does anybody suggest a differnt caliber or make/model?(I would step up to a 300 mag but weighing a hair over 150LB., the recoil affects my accuracy). I plan on getting the stock refit with a trigger job regardless of the gun I choose. I hunt hard in wet weather for extended trips covering 5+ miles a day in rugged mountainess terrain, so light weight rifles would be prefferable but I don't claim to be an exceptional marksman so I'm worried the reduced weight might adversly effect my accuracy. Any suggestions would be apperciated.
