My hunting rifle is getting tired. remington Custom Shop Alaskan wilderness rifle, 300 winMag, 20 years old,many many hunts! I was thinking about getting a new rifle set up. I don't want a custom rifle ( too old to spend a year waiting for it to get built, bad investment also in my experience). So I want a light(ish) rifle, want to put a Tangent Theta 3-15 scope on it. want to be able to mount scope myself, so it needs to come with a rail. Don't want a bipod. If it has a brake it needs to be easily removable with a cap to protect threads , as I don't hunt with rifles with brakes. Should be fairly available. Calibre?I use 300winMag now, but open to suggestions.( My buddy, an old sheep guide has killed everything with his 30'06, so I figure it does not need to be a magnum or something stylish, i.e. 300 Norma Mag etc.). 600yds maximum distance I will shoot, 500 or under my usual. Take into account that where I hunt there are grizzly bears. I mostly hunt on foot. Horses when I absolutely must. Game: mule deer, elk ,moose, caribou, black bear ( no more grizzly season here. )
I am a Canadian, so source must be in Canada. I shoot an AI, so I am a bit spoiled, so excellent accuracy is a must.. Nearing retirement so no time to wait. Thought about a Christensen Titanium,but they appear to be seriously back ordered.
Ideas welcome!
thanks
