I like the idea of having an all-round rifle, which I understand will be a give and take. Considering I bow hunt, I'd like to always have a trusty all-purpose rifle if I have the opportunity to use it.
Not really looking for a caliber debate. Below is my current setup, which I know is overpowered, heavy, and burns a lot of powder. I have $1K from another gun sale to either fix up my current rifle, or join with the sale of it to buy something else.
Current Rifle: Rem 700 Stainless in .300 WinMag with a 3.5-10x50 Leupold.
Ammo: Can reload and Cabelas is close.
Weight: Loaded probably weighs ~10+lbs
Condition: Good condition, probably 750 round count. Shoots maybe MOA, on a good day.
Shooting Range: 500 yds at most (I'd like to keep at 1500ft/lbs at 500 for elk) but not into the super long-range thing.
Animals: Everything I can out west and AK at some point
What say you? Fix up with trigger, bed/blueprint, lighter/better barrel, etc.? Or sell it and buy a lighter weight/caliber with the ~$2K burning a hole in my pocket?
"...I'd rather be tried by twelve than carried by six..."
