[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 2439809, member: 28741"] As to the OP's original question, I would agree with others, go with a magnum and a brake. The 06 doesn't get enough credit around here cuz it's old school and flight ballistics aren't fantastic. But for what he wants it would fit the bill. Having said that, the 7RM would give 'em a bigger bore than the 6.5, more power, only moderate recoil and muzzle rise with a brake, and similar flight ballistics. Personally that is my next step up from the 270. I was not able to shoot my 7RM (9lbs 24" sporter barrel) consistently accurately and did not find it fun until I put a brake(JP Precision) on it. Then woohoo, cloverleaves all day at 100, and my best group was 1.5" at 500 with light wind gusts. It's just got a $500 Nikon 5-20 scope on it, nothing exotic. [/QUOTE]
