I don't own either rifle. Two thoughts though:
*If you're in elk country and elk is on the menu, why not
step up to .30 caliber? Ammunition for the .300 WthbyMag
or for the .300 WinMag will be easier to come by, and the
.30 calibers are, arguably, better suited for elk.
**If you're planning on a "magnum" rifle, that 3 pounds
will make a big difference in recoil. The Ultra Lightweight
chambered for a magnum cartridge will be a whole lot easier
to tote around deer and elk woods but a whole lot more
unpleasant to shoot!
