Looking at getting a 300 win mag rifle to hunt with. I think I’ve decided on a Winchester model 70 (current production). However, I’m torn between the model 70 Super Grade and the Alaskan. does anybody have any experience with either of these or can provide any input.
I’ve also toyed with the idea of a sako 85 but I like the idea of the reliability that the model 70 provides
Edit: this will be my one and only hunting rifle (for now at least) I know some may say the 300wm is overkill but I’ve got a thing for it. The smallest things I’d be hunting is deer and hogs, however I’d like to be able to hunt elk, moose and bear. As to location mostly the woods of Virginia and West Virginia, possibly Colorado or Montana. Which ever I end up going with I’ll probably cut the barrel down to 24” if it doesn’t come with it already.
Edit 2: The main reason I was looking at the model 70 over the Sako is the controlled feed feature of the 70
