[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 3056161, member: 68875"] For "mostly target shooting and some eastern whitetail hunting", I would go with something fairly light recoiling but still decent speeds. Easy button: 6.5PRC Coolness factor (but ONLY if you handload): .260AI or 6.5SLR You do not need or want any more than either of those if you plan on mostly target shooting. 20" .260AI (this was just fire forming) [MEDIA=youtube]oFW2pIvmz0Y[/MEDIA] 22" 6.5SLR [MEDIA=youtube]3Kb7QnpkzZs[/MEDIA] 24" .260AI [MEDIA=youtube]C9dcqsqIgaw[/MEDIA] 22" 6.5PRC/SI (not my final load) [MEDIA=youtube]8LH-01DewL8[/MEDIA] 20" 6.5SS [MEDIA=youtube]fX7k0hVDBzk[/MEDIA] 26" 6.5SS [URL]https://youtu.be/HDcqOKgltm0?si=useWmM1R6jLQFhwp[/URL] [/QUOTE]
