[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 762736, member: 9736"] I have a Savage in 6.5x.284 and it has become my favorite rifle. It does it all without the abusive recoil and muzzle blast of the larger calibers. The 338 Lapua is just to much gun unless your after elk. The price of ammo is prohibitive to shooting a lot. The 6.5x284 is very accurate, reasonably cheap to shoot so you can shoot a lot, and will kill anything up to elk size at extended ranges. I prefer 30 cal. for elk but that is just my opinion. Shot mine at prairie dogs and squirrels and it does well. [/QUOTE]
