[QUOTE="copasj, post: 439004, member: 26561"] I used to use a 30-30, and got pass through's at over a hundred. I upgraded to a 7x57 for a deer/elk/bear gun. And my wife has a 7mm-08 for the same thing. Figuring a 175 7x57/7mm-08 bullet has more energy/velocity at 300 than the 30-30 170 grain did at 100 I don't see how you can go wrong. My wifes rifle has a 2.5x8x36 VX-III and the turrets are finger adjustable after you remove the covers. You can also get the laser-engraved turrets with windage and ranges marked on them. Unfortunately this was the 1st year with these rifles, and we got skunked, I don't have any experience to give. Gina is a little upset with herself now for passing on a little spike buck on day 2 of deer season. [/QUOTE]
