My 5300 had the option to come with the 18-140 AFS VR and I think that's a much better option than going all the way to 300 for a zoom, that kind of distance, like other's said requires VR and tripod/remote.
But really the lens I use all the time is the 50mm Prime. Seriously if you shoot people at all you need this lens, or even things in relatively close proximity. I can't tell you how awesome a 50 prime is for shooting.
That thing is almost always on my camera and I'm constantly shooting great pictures with it.
