The barrel on my savage 110, 7mm rem mag, factory contour, is shot out and since i have to replace it i'm thinking of switching to an er shaw, 24" stainless, 300 winmag in a 3.5 contour. I have a SFWA 10x mil dot optic.
I am not a sniper or DM. It is a hunting rifle. I will be reloading the ammo. The needs i have are the ability to take game up to elk out to 400 yds wide open and also shoot through underbrush at 50-150 yds. (AL and SD)
The 7mm has been good but people that know more than me have said a .300 winmag is a more inherently accurate cartridge that barely deflects with an accidental twig rub. just want a confirm before i spend the money. Is this true or stick with the 7mm?
