[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 715018, member: 21068"] 260 should be a great choice for what you described and the limitations you mentioned. One thing, if it's a gun that will shoot small game and varmints on a regular basis, but only used on deer once every year or two.........perhaps the 243 would be a better choice. Less recoil, ammo is easier to find, and it's cheaper to shoot. There's also alot of lightweight varmint style bullets available in 243 caliber. Or, like you mentioned; get two rifles:). Get a 260 or 7mm-08 for deer AND get a 204, 223 or 22-250 for varmints. Tons of choices, Welcome to LRH. [/QUOTE]
