Just looking at a gun for Moose and Bear, and wondering if I really need a .300 win mag?
I am looking for a budget rifle, as I already have a .243, and a 30-30 for deer, and it won't be used all that much. Prolly a few days in a tree stand at Bear season, and if I ever get a chance for a moose trip.
Anyways most of the budget rifles, I am looking at are only available up to 30-06, and I am leaning that way, as I really love my Marlin XS7.
The one option I have found is the Stevens 200, but I have owned a couple, and prefer the Marlin, as it has the better trigger stock, and especially recoil pad.
Anyways most reading I have done leads me to believe I really don't need the magnum cartridge, and cost of ammo and recoil, might make me a little less likely to practice with it.
Thanks for the opinions.
