It would help to know your price range you want to spend on a rifle. What are you willing to spend for rifle, scope, mounts? Do you want to buy new or used? Rifles in this caliber can range from <$350 used to over $2000+ for a new one it all depends on what you are willing to spend.
Weatherby Vanguard, Tikka, and Savage will offer good affordable rifles for around $400-$500. Browning, Remington, Sako, and others will run you more money as well as many other brands. I'm sure almost every major manufacturer of hunting rifles chambers this caliber. When you post a little more info would be helpful. Last edited by taylorce1; December 11, 2008 at 04:57 PM. |

The following are what I like, not necessarily the 'best' and most certainly probably not the favorites of others.
If I wanted and old used one I would buy a pre 64 Model 70. If I were buying a brand new .300 Winchester Magnum, I would get a Sako 85 Stainless Synthetic, of course I'd take one of those in any caliber. If I was in a higher economic class I'd get a Blaser. If I wanted a good solid hunting rifle at a good price I'd probably get a Rem 700 SPS or maybe a Weatherby Vanguard. You really could not go wrong with any of the above choices.

i would take either the new model 70 win, which runs arround 1000, or a ruger M77MKII, which run arround 600, both prices are for blued/walnut. but i i was to recomend a .300 mag it would not be the winchester, i would say a Wby mag is better in all catagories, except that it kicks more. also, the vangaurd is a 300 Wby, not a 300 Win.

New or Used?
New or Used? Hunting, target or both? Price range.

I was just in your shoes, I went with a Howa 1500. Excellent gun at a low price, with a surprising amount of aftermarket supply.
