[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 614391, member: 2736"] All good choices. I would add a 280 Rem to the list of possibles if you intend to hunt mule deer or something there size. With light bullets (90 to 100 grains) the velocity is over 3500 ft/sec. Bullets in the 130 to 140 can be pushed to 3000 ft/sec+ for deer. and 160 to 175 grain bullets are good for Elk size game out to 4 or 500 yards. The 280 is just a good all round cartrige and ammo is readily available at reasonable prices. Just a thought for an all round rifle that will do everything you want. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
