I have been thinking about buying a Browning BAR in 300 Win Mag. I would like to finally own a magnum (I have a 30-06, 308, 25-06, 6.5 Creed, etc.). The thought of a 300 WM in a semi-auto seems like a good elk combo (reduced recoil and a quick follow-up shot). I know weight would be a down side but the rifle I am looking at is on 7.5 pounds which isn't far off my other rifles. I'm not a long range shooter but I would imagine that the accuracy would be adequate out to 300 yards or more.
Thoughts? Is it a good elk set up? If no, an suggestion for a good bolt action that would have manageable recoil without a muzzle brake? Thanks
