[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1244874, member: 79865"] My "do all" rifle is a 7mm-08. Given proper bullet placement and a good, well-matched bullet, I have no doubts it will take most any game I may try to shoot, probably out to 400 yards or so depending on the game and the situation. At the same time, I have my eye on a Ruger American, most likely in 6.5 Creedmore, for when my kids start hunting in a few years. Personally, I think the 6.5 Creedmore, or the 260 or 6.5x55, provides plenty of power, good accuracy, and low enough recoil that young or smaller framed shooters can become proficient. When it comes down to it, putting a quality bullet where it counts is what brings home meat. [/QUOTE]
