[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 506335, member: 8622"] An all-around favorite of mine for easy carrying, light recoil, good accuracy, and great effect on target is my .25-06 Rem 700 CDL, with a 6x Leupold, and handloaded 115 gr Berger VLD's: [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/1e1841e8.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/da552040.jpg[/IMG] I've thoroughly enjoyed hunting with this rifle for several years now. It's instant death on coyotes & mule deer and not too shabby with rock chucks either. All I did to it was adjust the trigger and sight it in with that Leupold. One shot kills on deer at 400 yards are easy without even holding over, just raise the aimpoint up towards the back some, and drop the 115 into the kill zone. I keep mine zeroed at 300 yards, and hunt primarily in Eastern & Central Washington. On the other hand, a good .308 would work well too. No, there's nothing wrong with using your old Winchester Model 70 in .308, in fact if I had a real tight budget that's what I'd do. Use the .308, and spend the money you saved on ammo, or a compact reloading setup. Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
