[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1621020, member: 97414"] Yuppers. Lots of different ideas when asking a question,,, that's why I did my own research and seeing what """sometimes""" dosen't work in the kill fields... LOL I call it weighting my options of wants and needs to end up with something practical. Its been Remington Country's up here in the far reaches of the North,,, lots of Winchesters,,, Weatherby's,,, Brownings,,, and the odd teka / sako's along with a few others... I weigh my plinking needs up against the big game and predator control... Actually,,, most of the cartridges are able to pull this off,,, so the trick is to find 1 or more that fill those needs... Find a rifle that suits the fancy along with optic and ammo and get at it... Lifes to short to worry about getting it correct from the get go since a person """Normally""" changes things up 2 or more times in their life time,,, that's not saying that some folks don't get it right / right off the batt. I'm back to old school of simple basics with things with in my budget. Hopefully I stay the course with the odd work overs on the plastic,,, wood ,,, and iron I own... The left over funds go towards distance and being out there now days... No time to waist finding the 2 to 10 ish % of a fraction better... The only time I look at those % numbers is when I bunker down to plug a critter or go after the the top secret V rig. Ha Finding what works is golden. [/QUOTE]
