I've been kicking this idea around for quite a while and I think I've finally talked myself into making some changes in the safe...
I've started to accumulate more medium to large caliber hunting rifles than I have a use for, and I would like to thin them down and buy something new. I live in the Missouri Ozarks so my larger sized game is pretty limited (whitetail deer at biggest).
This is not something that I will be using around home, I have my whitetail rifles covered, and am very pleased with what I have... I'm looking to get something for that always talked about "trip out west". It's becoming much closer to a reality, as well as a trip to Alaska to hunt Caribou with one of my dads friends. Right now what I keep coming back to is a Winchester M70 Classic in .338 Win mag.
For those of you with experience hunting our larger creatures. Would you be ok with my selection? If there is something that you would suggest instead, what I am really interested in is WHY.
