[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1194186, member: 30902"] Wolf you've probably gotten more information than you can use and will require a lot of sorting out but I'm going to add to the pile. To become proficient beyond 300yds takes some real dedication, lots of time and lots of practice that comes at a cost. That being the case you might want to consider a 7mm Rem or .300wm for your hunting rig and something smaller, with less recoil, and cheaper to shoot for practice/plinking. Sticking with similar platforms for both rifles will help you develop the muscle memory and to be comfortable behind the rifle in all situations. You could for example pick up two sendero's one in .223 rem and the other in a magnum or one in .308 and one in the magnum. If you're shooting high volume it's hard to beat the cost of .223. It all depends on your budget and what you personally prefer. If I could only own two rifles I'd probably have either a .204Ruger or .220 Swift for varmints and plinking and a .300wm for everything else. Thankfully I'll never be in such a situation as to only have two! :D [/QUOTE]
