[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 699554, member: 23486"] Sbruce, I think your statement holds a great amount of experience with a good bit of truth mixed in. LR Hunting is a game of compromise, trading this to gain that. I have LR rifles from 6mm up through 338. When it's time to go out & have a day of practice & fun, the smaller calibers ALWAY go in the case. Don't get me wrong, I love shooting my 338ultra but even at 16lbs, there comes a point where it isn't fun to shoot anymore :cool: I can think of two out of all of the rifles i've had built that didn't have a muzzle brake. You most definitely need hearing protection, but for what I do, the pro's far outweigh the con's. OP- I also vote for one of the larger 6.5 offerings be it WSM, Win Mag or x284. good luck, [/QUOTE]
