I generally hunt in Mississippi... lots of up and down, lots of trees, not much distance. I have plenty in the short range hunting department... (Handi in .45-70, Winchester Model 1894 in .30-30, Remington Woodmaster 742 in .30-06... well that can reach out farther).
I'd like for this new rifle to be for shooting longer distances mostly for fun, but I would like to hunt with it and I would love to hunt somewhere else where they have Elk (someday )
I'm wanting a nice bolt action in either .30-06 or .300 Win Mag. I'm thinking about a Savage with the Accu-Trigger and maybe the Accu-Stock (but I sure do like pretty wood)....
I'm also thinking about a new Winchester Model 70.
What other guns should I look at?
Which caliber do I want?
Do I want the Accustock?
Would I want a stainless all weather (but I like blued steel and pretty wood).
So anyone have some opinions?
