Shopping for a .300 Win Mag for Elk Hunting in Colorado and have available to me the following immediate options (all new, in box):
1) Remington model 700 CDL for ~ $800.00
2) Winchester model 70 Sporter for ~$850.00
3) Sako L691 in Hunter type walnut stock for ~$1100.00 [dealer has had it a few years and may bargain, I haven't really tried yet, just been researching this particular Sako action]
Wondering what the general consensus would be the best/most accurate rifle.
Like the Sako name, but I thing the L691 actions are the least regarded of their line, and were only available for a couple years. It's also a very nice looking gun
Like the look and controlled round feed on the Winchester, but it's one of the latest manufactured and don't know if they will live up to their tradition. I've got a Winchester M70 featherweight in 30/06 and got no complaints.
Remington has name high accuracy out-of-the-box, and they been in business the longest.
Money is not the primary driver, if the Sako is worth the extra couple of $$bills.
Been eye-balling all 3 for about 6 months now, and can't come to a conclusion. Whichever one I choose will get some premium glass [Leupold 3-9 x 40 most likely].
any/all advice appreciated.
