[QUOTE="pburton, post: 1124547, member: 48978"] If I were to build a rifle for the purpose that you are looking for, I would go with a 6.5 of some sort. I have to agree that the .260 seems to fit your bill. But since you want a different cal. I would go with 6.5x55 swede built on a modern action. Easy to reload for. Very light recoil. Plenty of downrange energy to kill deer at 600. Only downfall for this caliber is if you don't reload, factory ammo is not loaded to the rounds potential. [/QUOTE]
