[QUOTE="LB, post: 37119, member: 2721"] I agree with the options offered, assuming the rifle has to be 7mm? Personal opinion; never had much interest in a 7-08, and as you heard, there is not much to be gained by the Ackley version, to justify the trouble. But, speaking of trouble, why not forget the whole thing and consider the 260 Rem. which is one of the standard calibers offered in the Titanium? Yes, I don't particularly care for the 260, either, and truly do not understand why Remington is pushing it so hard, but for what you have in mind, it [B]will[/B] kill deer. Other than that, the 284 is a good one, too. But, there again, I think the titanium is offered in 270, and that one is good to go, right from the box. My philosophy concerning exotic chamberings is that you have to make a real strong case before you are justified by not using a factory chambering. In other words, you need and want something that can't be had, over the counter. Your requirements are, to be honest, quite ordinary. I see no good reason why you want to do what you propose. Other than; you WANT IT, which is okay, too. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Anyway, that's my thoughts. LB [/QUOTE]
