I agree. The 300 mags are as close to the alround rifle as you can get. I have a classic custom in 308 Norma Magnum, for all intents and purposes a 300 Win Mag but a better designed case for handloading.

Though I have not hunted outside Australia with it I intend to and it will be the only one of my current rifles that I take.

DPhillips, the 300 Wby was Elgin Gates' favourite and he hunted every continent with it. In fact he reputedly used it to take the 7th all time best African elephant (see my post under "Hunting in African and Hunting Dangerous Game" concerning Elgin gates.
