[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 952652, member: 12995"] I agree. There's lots of rifles in my safe that I don't need to kill animals...But part of it is the want-factor. That's what makes it fun. Get what you want. However, there is a point where I'd say someone might go overboard, for example, shooting a coyote with a .300 RUM... That's entirely overkill to get that job done. And hogs can be killed out to 750-800 yards (maybe further) with a good accurate .30-06 and 180-185gr bullets. Want and need are very subjective. Buy what you want, but only if you're prepared to reap ALL of the of what you must sow that comes with the territory. For example, low barrel life on the RUM caliber, large appetite (100+ grains of powder), huge muzzle blast, lots of recoil, and alot of people like me telling you that you don't need one to get the job done. :D But, if that's what you want, go for it. Honestly from what you've said so far in the 2 pages I've read, I think like mentioned before, a 7mm RemMag would suite you just fine. You can shoot fast 120gr bullets for coyotes, and you can shoot 168gr bullets for deer and 180's for long range. I'm not here to sway you on any caliber one way, or the other... Just making sure you've thought everything through before pulling the trigger, so to speak. [/QUOTE]
