[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 1893912, member: 24844"] Going with the 6.5-'06 as the OP indicated is a good choice. The .264 Magnum will do just about as well as any with respect to wind drift at the longest ranges. In other words, not much to be gained with the very largest cases. The unvarnished 6.5-'06 offers a nice intermediate level of performance with perhaps a little less recoil. Yes, at 75 (I am almost that old too!) recoil should be a greater consideration that when we were younger and had to "prove our manhood" by demonstrating how much abuse we could take. Looking back, a .243 Winchester would have been a lot better for me that the .378 Weatherby I used during college... [/QUOTE]
