I just don't feel the need to hunt with a .300 magnum of any sort very often anymore, having done it enough to pretty much know what happens.
While a .300 magnum is certainly a good choice for an all-around North American rifle, or for plains game in Africa, I got past the "one rifle for big game" stage by age 20. Might get there again in the next few years, as I semi-retire, but wouldn't choose a .300 magnum of any sort.
Question Mule Deer: What would your "one rifle for big game" choice be?
