What Would You Do??

I have been looking at increasing the caliber of the rifle I use for whitetail. I currently shoot a semi auto Remington .243. I have a chance to trade with someone for a Savage .300 Win Mag. It has composite stock and is a bolt action. The same guy would trade me a Semi Auto Remington .270. It has a wood stock. All three guns are in good shape and have been well cared for. I need some outside input to make my decision. Thanks for the help.

I'd go with the 270 over the 300. That's just me, tho.

That .300 Win Mag Savage bolt is going to have More recoil

(Kick) than you might care for??

That .300 is Elk, Bear and Moose Medicine.

That Semi Auto .270 would make a Great deer killer!

i'd take the 300. i myself am a firm believer in bolt actions. there isn't a more reliable action out there as far as i am concerned.

I wouldnt trade, I would just try to buy the gun outright! I dont sell guns, just buy more!

[vister]

can't argue with that idea. fiances' mom keeps complaining that guns "get naughty" and reproduce in the gun cabinets, as they are always bought under the radar!

I am not a fan of auto loaders. If you are hard set on trading, I would look at the .300.

Personaly, I would keep the .243. If you are just boored with it, try an upgrade. New Stock? Scope???

I got to agree with you, just my .02 but it has to be a bolt action. But if you have to trade go with the .270, flat shooting gun, great for deer hunting and I even know guys that love them for fox and yote hunting.

Thanks for all the responses. I think I will be getting the .270. Hopefully I can post some pics of some nice deer this fall.
