[QUOTE="CC268, post: 947539, member: 80195"] Sometime this year (hopefully over the summer) I am looking into getting a rifle for big game and some longer range target shooting. I currently have a Tikka T3 Lite .243 that I use for coyote and white tail deer. I figure it is time to get something for elk, mule deer, etc. I live in Arizona so some of the shots on deer and elk can be long (300+ yards) I would really like something that is versatile (like I said good for big game and some target shooting). I have shot everything from a .270 to a 7mm MAG, to a 300 Ultra Mag. I am open to suggestions but PLEASE NO ODD CALIBERS that are hard to find. Here are a list of calibers that come to mind that may be good? 308 30-06 300 Win Mag 300 Win Short Mag 7MM Mag .270 I do plan on getting my own reloading equipment, but it may be a little while. Basically, a shot opportunity like this is not unusual for me (very open terrain in a lot of Arizona depending on where you are): [media=youtube]hY0w1c-gf18[/media] Thanks [/QUOTE]
