My .02 - Have you looked at a .300 WSM? The cartridge has a number of practical advantages over 300WM while being virtually identical to 300WM WRT ballistics (think ~1200M MER and capable of taking anything in NA with some overkill depending on bullet selection). You can put together a Rem 700 in an MDT chassis with quality glass for 1/2 the price and get a lot more pleasure shooting it. Just a suggestion.
That .300 short mag is a fantastic round, especially if you're going to build a rifle to use for hunting/carrying up big mountains. Hell on elk.

I just dropped my 7mm mag off to have the action worked and a new barrel put on. I can't trade or sell the gun, as my dad left it to me and he used it to shoot a mechanical deer (long story). But, if I did, it would be for a .300 wsm.
