Don't shoot anything bigger than pigs and Deer, so I could get by with just about anything.

For many years I owned just two rifles. Both were Rugger M77's one in 220 Swift, the other was a 270 Win. I still have the Swift and it's still one of my best shooters.

I'll take 2 300RUMs and stack up carcasses by the truckload.
I have one 300RUM and a 7mm-08 for my women-friends and children that need to borrow a rifle.

What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?

Awesome! If I thought I could handle the recoil of the Whelen, that's precisely the two I'd have.

The recoil in the Whelen is similar to shootin an 06 with 180`s. Go for it.
