would a Remington 700 chambered in .300 blk be a good deer gun?

also would the magpul short action magazine retrofit (drop in) part be a wise upgrade if you want to take larger mags as a last ditch shtf gun. (kinda like how my ruger scout was the only.rifle I would have...)

I just want to get opinions if this is a good idea.

and yeah,I know about commonality of ammo, but that is what reloading dies are for

It would make more sense for a "only rifle" to get a .308. Then you can shoot subs or have a full power rifle.

Save some money and get the Ruger American .300 camp rifle. short stock, threaded...accurate enough. and come in FDE...which automatically adds fun points

see I did the while ruger scout thing. loved it, and it killed me when I sold it, 800 rounds 4 poly mags and belt pouches when I moved back to ohio, (needed the money for a down payment on a house, and I didn't have any more room in my car) if I could find the zq1 308 ammo I wouldn't be having this discussion now would i?

Remington/AAC offered a Model 7 (shorter than a short action 700) in .300Blk. They ain't hard to find.

I've got the Remington/AAC .300Blk and a 16" threaded barrel. I'm having it put together, then drop it in the MDT Chassis is have en route. Lightweight, side folding and adjustable. It will be a combo deer rifle for my daughter and a suppressor host for some of the classes I teach. The MDT Chassis takes AICS mags.

Well she-it! The rifle I referenced above is on sale at CDNN for $700! https://www.cdnnsports.com/aac-model-7-300-blackout-16-threaded-picatinny.html

Here's the specs. Great ready-to-go, lightweight, bolt action .300Blk.

Details

AAC MODEL 7 300 BLACKOUT 16" THREADED BARREL
Action: Bolt • Finish: Black Nitride • Barrel Length: 16" • Sights: None - 20 MOA Scope Rail • Magazine(s): Hinged Floor Plate • Stock: Synthetic w/Adjustable Cheek • Weight: 6 lbs. • Overall Length: 34.5" • MSRP: $899

AAC's MODEL-7 rifle is chambered in the new 300 AAC BLACKOUT cartridge which offers an accurate, light weight, and compact package for hunting or target shooting.

The action is made by Remington to AAC's specifications. It has all the features and safety you come to expect from a Model-7 action (a shorter version of the Model-700), A 20 MOA scope rail is mounted to the receiver using M24 type 8-40 screws. The X-Mark Pro™ trigger is factory set for 3.5 lbs and provides the feel needed for precision shooting. The barrel is a 5R 1:7 twist and threaded 5/8-24. A thread protector is included. The nitride surface of the barrel, bore, and chamber provide maximum service life and durability - longer than even hard-chrome but with the accuracy potential of a stainless barrel. Corrosion and wear resistance of the bore is extreme.

I'm aware it's been out for a while, I was just recommending it to the OP and then commenting on the sale that CDNN is running on them.
