[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 77863, member: 8"] The choice of 7mm would seem to me to be personality driven. The non mags have lower recoil and lower stopping power and as you go up the scale things increase on both ends of the gun. I have used a 7mm mag on some big stuff and I would not delibrately go up against a gizzley with it as long as I was sober or unless I had a bet riding on whether I could actually do it. Depending on things you have not yet mentioned I would take the 300 Wby to a gunsmith and and have it refurbished with what ever ails it and then put it away as the someday elk and bear gun. If the barrel is shot out then a rebarrel is very easy and there are some really high quality barrels out there and while the smith has it, he can do several other things to help it along. Then I would have me a nice little low recoil eastern whitetail deer gun built in an easy shooting cartridge of the 243, 257 or 6.5 family, or even a nonmag 7mm. [/QUOTE]
