Christmas question

[adamsoa]

Ok.....I know that this question gets hit a lot, but I have to ask anyway. I have just found out that I have about 700-900 to spend on a gun (not scope) this winter. I am trying to decided where to go with this. I want something to hunt elk, mule deer and bear with. I would also like to go with something that uses factory ammo.
I currently shoot a .270 wsm, a .300 win mag and a .300 RUM.
Right now I'm looking towards either a 7mm RUM or a .338 RUM. But I'm also up for some advice on other rounds.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds to me like you already have 3 guns capable of doing what you are talking about doing.
With the guns you already own, personally I would get a 338 but you really don't need it. Never hurts to have another gun though!

If bear is in the mix, get a 338, Otherwise save your money as you have everything else covered with the 300WM.​

well you allready sound like you've got everything covered for big game in North America, so its just for kicks now. I would go with a .338 Rum, Norma or Lapua. In the price range you mentioned .338 Rum would be what your lookin at. But I am biased and every time anyone asks what they should get I say .338.
It sounds like you dont have any cheap to shoot varmint rifles, in which case get a .243 cal. I only have 2 rifles and they are a .338 and a .243 and I couldnt be happier.
