[QUOTE="AKRyan, post: 1003586, member: 80550"] Welcome! I'm fairly new to LRH site as well. Finding your question most interesting I figured I'd throw out my 2 cents worth. I just bought 2 Ruger American rifles in 270 Win for my daughters. They both shoot Great. I'm getting 3/8" groups at 100 yards from both of them. with factory 130 grain Ammo you should be fine for AZ hunting with lots of range. Eventually I'd recommend hand loading. Accuracy is increased and it's just plain relaxing. My family lives in Alaska, and we all hunt. my three Ladies all use 270 Win. my wife dispatches Moose every year. my 12 yr old killed her fisrt last year with my old 7x57. one shot, PROUD Daddy! All three killed Caribou this year. All one shot kills. the longest shoot was 220 yrds. Again my 12 yr old. Call me nutty, but with the no hand loading I tend to think the 6's and 6.5's are less accommodating to your request. 30 calibers and long range begin to necessitate Magnum Chambering, that equals increased recoil. It's all in what you really want. I'm more and more a 270 Win guy. This coming from a feller who's smallest cartridge was a .375 H&H a couple years ago. [/QUOTE]
