I am thinking of putting together a new gun/scope package together, not because I need it, but because I want to. Because I like my A-Bolt 270 so much, I was thinking of the M-1000 300 win mag with the boss. I am not concerned with the weight, cause I still hunt for the most part, and longer range shots in the open fields are common occurrences. I have budgeted $3000, so I am able to put a high end piece of glass on top ( probably a Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44 Rapid z 800). Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this gun?

I've killed a bunch of stuff with a Browning A-Bolt in .300 Win Mag. I love it and would replace it in a heartbeat if it broke. Stay away from the BOSS system however, I have never known anyone who hasn't had problems with them. The Browning is a tack driver without it. Zeiss is a great scope, if you can afford it, and it seems your budget can!

That Gold Medallion is a great rifle, and if the BOSS works for you that's good enough! Stay with the good scope. Although the price is a bit steep you can't beat Zeiss or Swarovski optics. I constantly see guys with $1,500 rifles and $50 scopes. Needs to be the other way around. Have a Merry Christmas with whatever you select!

Short mags are fine, I know a bunch of guys who shoot and love them but I always worry about being in Moose Spit Crossing Wy and having to look for a box of .300 WSSM. Everybody carries .270, 30-06, 7mm Mag and .300 Win Mag.

Yeah, when I went to Africa my buddy and I split our ammo in case they lost one of our bags and I'm getting to the age where I have to use a check list before I go anywhere so I don't forget my ammo, ...... just in case!
