Where are you hunting?
 
Depends on exactly what and where you’re hunting. Got a 300 WM but not my favorite gun by any means. Thought I’d like it a lot more, but it’s a little particular for me. 30-06 is adequate, but again, not my favorite. Much prefer the 45-70, but then again I have a predilection for lever action rifles.... I’m sure one of the more dedicated hunters here will have a more informed opinion, depending on what and where.

My buddies usually go out for deer,elk, and bison. Most have .300 win mags. I’m just looking for more opinion to form my own.
 
Not mine but my dad bought an m&p shield in 9 while I was visiting, I always forget how much I like those. And then I don’t buy one.

My next gun is gonna be a mini 14 anyway. And then a Remington 870. Kinda feelin 80s bank robber vibes.
 
Anybody have a Henry Axe in 410 or whatever? They don't make
any sense but they look like a lot of fun.

I hate 300WM, would rather have a 270, 7mm mag or 338, even a 308 or 30/06 over a 300wm, don’t k ow what it is about that cartridge but regardless of what gun it’s in, every time I touch one off in it, it’s like it’s trying to detach my retina it’s such a violent cartridge

For one Jack of all trades cartridge, more then likely I’d go with a 308 or possibly a 06, you can take any game in North America with one of them if you can shoot and know your skill set and limitations

Nope, not at all, it’s typical of the idiots who talk shit about loosing guns in a boating accident to turn tail and run when it’s time to walk down the driveway and do work

As a responsible gun owner, you should only use your firearm if your life (or lives' of others in your vicinity) are in unavoidable danger. Leaving a situation if you can or de-escalation is the responsible thing to do, not "walk down your driveway and do work." For being ex-police, ex-military, ex-special forces, ex-federal agent, ex-whateverthefuckyouwanttomakeup, you sure are a fucking idiot.

I guess he doesn't get the meaning of losing them in a boating accident.

That's bigger country than where I hunt most of the time. I had a 30-06 when I hunted in Montana, but many others I was with had a 338 lapua mag. I was able to use one for the elk I took home. The 30-06 would have been ok, but my scope was knocked apparently during the flight out.

Here in New England I use the 30-06 or my 308. My father always uses his 270, and a buddy of mine just picked up a 6.5 Creedmoor for whitetail.

options....

^^^ TRUE DAT! Knew a guy who had a vault! You walked to the back of his 'closet' (a good 400 SF) and pushed the very well hidden button which opened the floor to ceiling shelves. The vault was a good 150SF. Bear in mind we're talking about a guy with a regulation range in the basement of his 3500SF pool house. The range has a $75K bullet collector and air purification system.
