[QUOTE="the shotty, post: 550589, member: 27217"] Are you looking for 1000 yard paper accuracy or game accuracy? Past 800 yards with those rounds is really going to be pushing it for anything over coyote size and particularly with that short of a barrel. The 7mm will be a better choice for those ranges, I personally would say 300wsm just due to the extra punch. Other thing I personally would consider if your looking for compact would be a Lrh pistol in either 6.5wsm, 7wsm,300wsm but again just my preference. Don't get me wrong I love my .260 and would definitely run one for general light weight pack gun but they just don't have the punchpast 750 ish yards that most prefer. My 300wsm tikka weighs in at 8.5 scoped and with a break on it I find it fun to shoot rather than just bearable. But if I want manuverability and or won't have shots over 150 yards I run my ruger blackhawk in a shoulder holster [/QUOTE]
