Yes, I already have the man bun cartridge covered  :tup:....although I do have a shaved head!
I’d don’t matter if you have a shaved head or not. With a creedmoor your still a manbun kinda guy.  :sry:

If it's any consolation, I have rifles for pretty much all the common hunting cartridges, not just the creedmoor.  :tup:

with an '06, you can't go wrong
You know your hunt went well when you had a shot that was unethical and you never took it, even if you never got your bull.

How do you like your 7mm.08? I bought one for my son but would like one for myself.

I personally love that cartridge.  Short action, no recoil, performance almost on par with the 270win.  I think it is a great deer cartridge.  Id opt for something with more power for elk though.

It has to be the 338 Federal. That's one of the most underrated cartridges floating around right now. I love the 358 Win, but the 338 Federal just has more bullet options.

It's time for all the small bore stuff to get pushed back into the target shooting/varmint category. :peep:

Had to vote to see what the outcome was. Thought it might be unanimous!  Lol

Hey only 17.6% think you're an idiot.  That's some pretty solid numbers man :chuckle:

I have been shooting a custom 6 1/2 284 built on a 700 for close to 15 years it has done it all on deer for me. Shots from 30 yards to 623 yards. I also have one in a factory savage 111 Shoots great as well. Between the two rifles my kids (11&13) and i have killed 7 deer with them the last two years. I run 140 vlds in the 700 and 127 lrxs in the savage still both bullets have preformed great. The savage is going to be my sons full time deer gun next year so have a 6.5 wsm being built right now to replace it for me. 6.5/284 gets my vote for sure.
