I'll add my welcome.

You'll soon come to know that I'm an anti-magnum kind of guy. They're too loud, kick too much and don't kill game any deader than the proven, reliable .30-06.

There's also nothing wrong with a 270, even for elk. With today's bullets, it's superb (and wasn't bad for its first 70 years, either),

I'd stay away from the WSMs. They aren't proven, and with the recent closure of Winchester, their future is perhaps cloudy.

The Browning A-Bolt is a great rifle. Put a decent scope on one and you'd not only have a rifle that your grandkids would still be using, but if you decided that hunting wasn't for you, you'd have a quick seller. The same goes for a Remmy 700.
