[QUOTE="Glockisgood17, post: 3968570, member: 51800"] Many years out west between Colorado and Wyoming for the beast. First I had a Remington 700 in 7mm magnum. It worked great! Always used Nosler bullets, never had a failure of those bullets. Switched to a Remington in 300 mag, ouch that hurt! But I have shoulder issues, both have been replaced over the years. Settled on a Browning BAR lightweight stalker in 300 WSM! and that is the one I’ve used for the last 15 years going out west. Great caliber, when loaded correctly it runs fine and is softer shooting imho. I still have that rifle should I draw a tag here. The Bar in that configuration shoots very soft, more of a push then punishing for sure. The wife found me a BrowNing x-bolt medallion is 30/06. Very nice rifle, the most accurate of these 4. It’s sub 1/2” at 100. The BAR is sub moa, the Remingtons were both 1” at 100. Settle on a load for whatever you decide. If it was me it would be something in 30 caliber. Get a good scope, probably cost close to what the rifle does. I liked Nikons a lot, no longer made. You can still find some here and there in the 4-5 hundy range. Or Leupold also. Pick out what works best for you. Shoot it, a lot. Off hand, shooting sticks, bipod if you have one but practice. Knows the dope for your load. Tape it to your stock. Practice some more getting into field positions and a quick shot. Congratulations! Get yourself in good shape and let us know how you do. Mountains can be tough on you! [/QUOTE]
