[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 107251, member: 8843"] Does your LVS not shoot well ? For shooting out to 400yds as a max I would think that the 7-08 would be great even with the lighter bullets in the 120-140 gr class. I personaly don't see any reason to need any more speed or or any more power for deer out to 400yds than the 7-08 has hell even the 243 would be good option. you would be well served by taking your VLS ,assuming that its accuracy isin't up to snuff , and having it rebarreled to say a 260Rem , you'll be able to shoot the same great high BC bullets as the 6.5-06 and you'll get alot longer barrel life and all that would be required would be a new barrel and the smiths work. another option would be the 308 Win , but for 400yds shooting at targets and the rare deer or yote I woulden't look any farther than what you have [/QUOTE]
