I have "Ineedanewgunitus" and have settled on 7mm-08 in either the browning xbolt stalker ss or the remington LSS mountain rifle. I'm buying one of the two for myself for Christmas (it will be from Santa).
I've read a lot of good things about the remington and I like the length, weight, etc but Browing is comparable in that way, has a very good reputation and I like the synthetic stock and removeable rotary clip concept. They both feel well balanced and neither is more comfortable than the other for me. The only thing that pushes me a little toward the remington is that the 700 has been around forever but the xbolt is relatively new. Any comments?
Note: I was originally looking at 300wsm but after shooting two of them and not enjoying the recoil at all, I decided to stay with my 1895 cowboy 45-70 as my "big bore" rifle (although I may get a marlin 1895LXR in 45-70 some day and throw a scope on it). This would close out my post "Best 300wsm".
