[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1005038, member: 30902"] I'm sorry but the above is so far from correct it isn't even wrong. The 6.5x284, 6.5 Creedmore, .260 Rem, 6.5x55, 6.5x57, and most certainly the .264wm all have more than enough energy to kill a deer well beyond 500yds. If I were starting over today and had only enough money to buy one rifle for everything it would be a .260 Rem, 3.5-10x56 Leupold, and if I were limited to factory offerings it would be a 700bdl in .260 Rem. Float it, bed it, put a good rail on it, find a load it likes and you are in business. If I could get a Mod 70 chambered in 260 I'd go that route instead. [/QUOTE]
