[QUOTE="MJU, post: 1330939, member: 45706"] I want to invest in a new rifle that would be used for hunting deer and occasionally elk. I hope to have a rifle that isn't overly heavy and I want the recoil to be manageable so I can practice a lot, enough to at some point become proficient to 700 yards. I own a Remington 7 mag and although it's a great looking and shooting, I just not in love with it. I also own a Browning 26 nosler that has never been shot, but I was hoping for a stainless rifle due to hunting in wet weather often. My dilemma is just used one of those or sell and purchase something new. I don't know what caliber to even narrow it down to if I do that. I picked up the 26 Nosler because it was sold to me as having great downrange energy, but a friend of mine has nearly convinced me you need a 180+ grain 30 caliber for longer ranges due to slight factors that could make shot placement slightly off. I am interested in others thoughts or advise please. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
