[QUOTE="Nickwild, post: 2772014, member: 126418"] been thinking of upgrading to a better rifle and very possibly to a larger caliber right now I have a ruger American in 6.5cm with a mag pull chassis. while I can't really complain about it, I'm thinking of spending some money on a better rifle made with tighter tolerances and better parts/materials, as well as a more suited caliber. I'm not in a position to buy multiple rifles so just one would have to suffice. I hunt part of the year and shoot the rest. as far as game, I hunt anywhere from coyote - deer, but would like to get into elk, as there's plenty of it where I am, besides its being probably one of the most iconic American big game animals. as for caliber, I've grown fond of 6.5 cm but understand that it leaves much to be desired for big game. been considering .308-one of the 7mm cartridges. I'm not yet willing to go as big as 300 win mag just yet... also I just don't need to. I've also been thinking of staying within the .264 family and using the slightly larger 6.5 PRC. and yes, I would be eventually RELOADING. any thought/ comments would be welcome - cheers! [/QUOTE]
