[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1215519, member: 19988"] If only shooting 600 yards even at moose. The 7-08 Rem will do the trick. With the 140 grn Berger at 2800fps has just over 1000 ft-lbs. if you must shoot the 168 grn it's 2600 fps still retains 1200 ft-lbs of energy. That's more than plenty. This info is from a 24" barrel. For every inch you add to the barrel you will add about 25fps. If you hand load the bullet will be faster too. I've killed hog out to 997yards with my 260 Rem 140grn burger bullets. It was a 290 lb hog. I shoot the 260 Rem, my pop shoots a 7-08 both with 140 grn burger VLD's. GF shoots 243 Win 105 grn burger VLD's. We kill deer, hog, yots, prairie dogs out to and past 1000 yards. All three rifles very low recoil. Look at the Rem model 700 SPS stainless. It should run about $700 and its SS like you want. I could help with scope choices if you like too. Just let me know. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
