I have a 300 Win Mag (the real one) that my Brother built for me. Its a Whitworth action, trued and blued, Douglas barrel, glass bedded, timney trigger. On the floor plate it is engraved, "Custom Built for Carl E. Durham with a Brothers Love 1972" with that rifle I have taken many head of game, I have shot one animal twice, I made my longest deer kill, longest and largest Elk kill, biggest bear kill, with that rifle. but I dont play with that rifle, unless its down and dirty, gonna kill a big or bad, know I gotta shoot along ways, or something else demanding, it stays home because I cant replace it.
For every day kinda big game, I like my Tika T3 lite stainless 270 (the real one) with a good 130 grain bullet around 3000fps. Other than that I got lotsa guns like em all!!
