[QUOTE="jfolanddvm, post: 2167420, member: 70626"] In 1976, my dad (who was not a hunter) bought my my first center fire rifle - a Rem 700 in 30-06. Through high school, college, and on through adulthood, I shot everything from prairie dogs to elk with that rifle. Then, around 1996, I became infected with THE BUG. I think I now own a rifle in every caliber (not cartridge) from .17 to 375 except one (35). I jumped on the WSM train early and acquired a 325, then 270, 300 and finally a 7. The 7 WSM has far and away become my favorite cartridge and the one I shoot the most, whether its banging steel at 1k yds or hunting big game in the US or abroad. With the exception of large dangerous game, I don't think there is anything I would hesitate to shoot with it. Not saying I dislike the 30s, as my 300 WSM would probably be my second favorite, but when everything is added up, including recoil, ballistics, and lethality, if I were forced to get rid of every firearm I own except one, my 7 WSM would be lonely in my safe:) [/QUOTE]
