[QUOTE="CrockettNJ, post: 5929, member: 1380"] hey, just stumbled upon this board and want to thank everyone for putting up such poignant and mature posts. no arguing or BS... its great. i live and hunt in NJ, so long range to me is 300 yards. i know this is peanuts, but the best rifle range here is only 300 yards max, and the hunting plots i use are nestled between airports, suburbs, etc. we cant even use centerfire here, so i use a ML and 12 guage for hunting. i would like to purchase my first centerfire, and based upon my salary it will likely be the last for quite a while. i have many ideas, but would ike your input. the guns uses are listed in order of liklihood below: 1) sit in the gun cab and just look **** good 2) shoot paper informally but very seriously at the 300 yard range... 3) hunt deer in NY and PA at ranges from muzzle to about 30o yards. 4) hunt coyote / chucks in PA as far as i am able 5)be used to teach my friends how to shoot a centerfire rifle 6) hunt boar someday when i can afford the trip down south 7) hunt moose when i get back up to maine (lived there) and apply for the lottery i have an '06 that dad gave me. i hate it but would never ever tell him, cause he cherishes it. for that reason alone it has a valued place in my gun cab. other than that, i shoot the 12/slug and .50 cal ML often, and have a cadre of great .22 rimfires. i now want a gun that fills the niche betweemn these. soooo... to the point finally... (you guessd it) what rifle/cartridge/scope combo!?!? i am leaning towards the following, but would LOVE your collective thoughts for my needs. rem stainless/laminate mountain rifle short action .260 rem 2-7 or 3-9 scope thanks for your time [/QUOTE]
