[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 174090, member: 6555"] I did my first Mauser in the boring 308, it does not have the flash or cool factor of the magnums but it will sure enough put a thump on anything a 500 yards. Since then I have built a 6mm Rem, 6.5x55 and just finished up a 243 with a 1-8 barrel for the 105-107 bullets. Since the first one I have kept it and shoot it out to 1k on steel plates and that unlucky doe that stepped in front of a SMK at a little over 400 yards :-) many a pasture maggots have fallen to this rifle out to 800 so far but hey we'll see what we can do this spring. If it were me and I wanted a rifle for your stated requirments I'd look at the 280 Remington or for the bit more cost of dies a 6.5-06, they should feed without any work and they will have enough horse power with good bullet selection for about anything except for some big bears.
