If you�re not taking the 300 Win Mag for a Western hunt, then for purpose are you buying it? Africa? Red Stag in Argentina? It sure isn�t needed in the southern US, and really is completely unnecessary anywhere in the lower 48. If you want to buy it �just because you want it�, that�s fine, but it�s about as useful as a guy in Florida buying a snowmobile �just because�.

Also, if threads didn�t veer off from the OP, this would be a pretty boring place.
