If this is just a hunting rig I like the 300 WSM on the model 70 but I also roll my own ammo.

I would use neither for a long range match shooter. Need something with more beef in the barrel. Both calibers are fine for 1K but you'd cook the barrel firing 20 round in 20 minutes.

I feel like I just got rebuked by Fez from that 70's show. I said good day sir, I said good day. Nice burn PMAC
I agree with the not the best long range target rifle. I have a 300 WSM with a small profile barrel and 3 to 4 shots and the POI starts to shift. Even at 100 yards the shift is pretty bad so at 500 to 800 yards it could be huge. That much powder heats up the barrel mighty fast. Doesn't mean is won't be accurate just not for very many rounds in a row. |

If your hunting involves a lot of walking the Winchester Ultimate Shadow has the weight advantage by over a pound. If accuracy is more important than weight my money would be on the Savage and the AccuTrigger is exceptional for a factory trigger. As already mentioned neither is ideal for long range because of the relatively light barrels. I have a current production .308 Savage Precision Carbine with 20" heavy barrel, AccuStock and AccuTrigger that consistently delivers half inch 200 yard five shot groups with my hand loads. I don't own a current production model 70 yet but a Featherweight in 7mm-08 or .280 if ever offered is on my wish list.
