[QUOTE="mcbain, post: 914485, member: 901"] I have been out of hunting for too many years, and I want to get back into it...specifically hunting with a LR handgun. I have had an Encore in .270 Winchester in the past, and I wasn't enamored with the platform. This time around I am thinking a Savage Striker or a Remington XP-100R. In all reality 500 yards is about the max I will be taking shots, at least until I spend some time sending a LOT of lead down range, and I am planning to hunt almost exclusively deer and antelope. I am leaning toward a 7-08 or .260, just for ease of factory ammo to get started and that they have decent ballistics. I do handload, but finding components is such a hassle right now that I figure I will start with factory as I scrounge around for primers, powder, brass, etc. With all of that being said, I am looking to spend ~$1000. What do you all recommend? Thank you gentlemen! [/QUOTE]
