UPDATE
Some of you may remember that at one point in this thread I stated that I wouldn't have asked the original question if I had a .300 Mag. Well, guess what...
Last night I received a phone call - apparently the Calgary Fish and Game Association was having their annual banquet, and one of the events there was the drawing of the winners of their gun raffle. I entered said raffle at the African outfitters expo in Calgary this past January.
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!
I had to make a choice between a Beretta 391 and a Rem. 700 in .300 RUM topped with a Leupold scope.
I'll take the rifle, please.
So, now this thread is basically irrelevant because I can leave the .270 at home. I can not wait till the new boom stick gets here!
I don't know if any members of the CFGA are on this forum, but if you're reading this, THANK YOU!!
