Looking for a new gun to buy...
My dad is big into hunting. He really loves to go hunting deer, elk, moose, anything! Anyway, when he buys a gun, the entire family kind of gives our input about it before he actually makes a decision. He says he's looking at:
a steven model 200 by savage arms
300 win mag
$399.99
I haven't gotten to talk to him much about what sort of gun this is compared to his others but...is it worth the money and all of that? Anyone know how to find out or anything?

I asked a friend of mine, who also hunts, and he says it's a great choice. Here is more about it...

EXCELLENT ROUND!
the caliber is great for knocking the hell out of large game at a good range. if its worth a damn, it will be bolt-action. the rifle's cheap as hell as far as price though.... I'd tell him to hold off on buying that thing, check out the reviews in gun mags or online, scope this puppy out. some guns are four hundred bucks for a reason. I haven't heard anything bad from savage, but a good rifle normally costs about twice as much and up from there. there are specific magazines for hunting rifles, check them out. keep in mind, good optics for a rifle usually cost around twice whats paid for the rifle itself. so that thing won't be doing any shooting without a good Burris or Leupold scope to bring it to its full capabilities. there are exceptions to this rule, of course. my M-1A cost 1600 bucks, and it shoots out pennies at a hundred meters with a scope that cost half that. good enough to kill taliban's good enough for me.
find something else in 300win mag, and see what he thinks. oh, and this round has a lot of powder behind it, so find something thats heavy enough to dull the recoil, and look for recoil pads for the buttstock. lightweight bolt actions hurt like hell!
