OTOH, the world is full of .300 Win Mags. For me, the only reason to take on an old timer with availability issues is because I stumbled onto a nice old rifle. Ballistically, there ain’t much difference, but there’s a considerable convenience gap.
Just a thought; don’t want to be a killjoy. The voice of reason here... but I've gotta admit that an H&H would sure be cool. I move that the “Voice of reason “ be banished from here forthwith! It gets in the way of lots of fun ideas! As a handloader, one cartridge is about as easy as the next. For me, the enjoyment is worth the potential inconveniences. I do,however, often take a 30-06 along as a backup. Really, I’m now seeing the ‘06 as kind of a fun classic.

Mine is a m721 not much to look at but the first thing that hits you is that it's a damn big rifle. 26" original barrel with magnum contour and weight. It's a rifle for those who appreciate a full size rifle definetly not for the SBW and SAP crowd. It's size alone makes it easy to shoot well. Mb

If you aren't into nostalgia and just want to get that level of performance then buy a new model Winchester M70 in 300 wsm. I have one in Super Grade and it is very accurate and looks great. I am out of moose hunting now due to age but did help to kill my last moose in conjunction with my hunting buddy. Two shots at 300 yards put the moose down right there.

Winchester made a run of 1500 in 1989. About 6 or 7 of these went thru the shop. They were pushfeeds, blue/walnut, 24" barrels with sights. The classic style stocks were nicer than average wood. I kept one/ It's a decent shooter too.

One could always take a new(er) M70 30-06 and have it reworked into a 300H&H.
