[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 961839, member: 33822"] I still think a 6.5mm-284 Norma is the way to go. You should look at a Savage 16 Weather Warrior. It comes with the 1:8 twist barrel you'll need to stabilize the long 6.5 bullets. Very affordable and VERY accurate. I would use Lapua brass and start out loading either the Barnes 127 grain LRX bullet or the Berger 140 grain hunting VLD. I think a setup like that would fit exactly what you are looking for... a deadly accurate deer rifle that is also pleasant and fun to shoot at the range. Good luck, and keep us posted with what you decide! [/QUOTE]
