.300 Wby Mag with 200 grain Trophy Bonded bullets with RL 22 pushing it out at 3000 plus fps.  More energy than my .338 Win Mag and it shoots flatter, farther.  Purely Awesome elk and deer gun!

.260 Remington. Ballistic coefficient is awesome. Plus it doesn't kick at all.

300 Win Mag- Browning A bolt Medallion. But also pretty fond of my 7mm-08-Remington 700 BDL. Some pretty sweet choices by the members, love it.

If I were still a rifle hunter (Gave it up 22 yrs ago) I would definatly go with 25-06. Tack driving, flat shooting, and you can reach out a ways.

Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me

I may not have alot but what I have I got honest.....

I'd rather be hated for what I am then be loved for what I'm not

Is it me, or are people getting dumber
