[QUOTE="Truk505, post: 1225526, member: 41252"] If you want just one rifle from an 80lb antelope to an 800lb elk, you most likely would be best served with a cartridge you can load up heavy lead or down with some zingers. I watched a friend drop a moose with a Nosler 26 like it was hit over the head with a sledge hammer, he hit it in the hump with a 129gr bullet, it was only about 120yds away though. If it was me personally, I'd be going with the 28, but I could be biased to the .284's, I have 3 .280's (2 of them Ackleys) and after years of playing the magnum game I decided to get ride of the magnums all together, I don't do any long range hunting though, with 700yds being about my limit.
