[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 812928, member: 13"] If looking at Coues deer as your largest game, then I would see 6mm as a minimum (like a 6XC) and 7mm as a maximum. I would consider 7mm for the higher BC bullets (less wind drift especially). I tend to find myself using 6.5-284, 6.5 SAUM, 6.5WSM. in 7mm 284 Win, 7 SAUM, 7 WSM, 7 Dakota, and 7 LRM. For the cartridges I have mentioned in a XP, the price is way over $1000. Depends on the distances you intend to shoot/hunt at, and what game you are considering. Not a Striker fan myself, but you can put one together cheaper than a XP for sure. Another great hunting rig is the MOA Maximum. [url=http://www.moaguns.com/]MOA Corporation Homepage[/url] I have MOA's in 6-284, 6.5x47, 6.5-284, 284 Win, and 7mm Mag Imp. Lot cheaper than putting a custom XP together. I use rifle scopes on my specialty pistols. You might be able to find one of the rear-grip XP-100R's in 22-250. What distances do you want to be able to hit steel or paper at? What distances do you want to be able to kill varmints at? What distances do you want to be able to kill big game at? [/QUOTE]
