[QUOTE="348 fan, post: 1925677, member: 113673"] I hope I'm answering what you are asking.......400 yards can be reached with a 22 inch sporter in any 30-06 based case or 308 based case or even easier with a 7mm RM or 300 WM. I'd not go smaller than .27 caliber for the game you mention IMHO. I say sporter because if you are back country hunting and it sounds like you would rather close the distance......you will keep the rifle around 9 pounds with a 40mm 3 x 9 or even a 4 x 12 range scope.....I'm a Browning fan but I think about any bolt action platform will work for you that's readily available over the counter. I think you asked about 1 must have feature.......optics....don't skimp...don't go too big. [/QUOTE]
