Red Dawg
I like the ballistics for the .308mx.  Just slipped my mind when I posted options, not sure why either, was just looking at the charts yesterday.

What about the .300 savage99?  :'( i have one of those. Its just as good as a 30-30. Besides that i dont know I would have to do more shooting with it. But untill i get it fixed it might be some time....

 How about the BLR in 7mm-08. Had one of them a long time ago, still wish I had kept it.
