[QUOTE="6072mc, post: 591435, member: 40332"] I will look at handloading a little further down the road for sure. Black bear is never going to happen. I have only seen one in the wild in my entire life. Elk will happen someday, but I just learned that the family land that I am hunting that has elk on it, is not a legal elk hunting county here in oklahoma. This leave's muely's, whitetails and paper targets for what I will be shooting. From all the posts so far in this thread I should be looking at these caliber's: 300 win mag - Yes comes in savage 11/111 LRH 300 wsm - Yes comes in savage 11/111 LRH 7mm wsm - No does not come in savage 11/111 LRH 6.5x284 - Yes comes in savage 11/111 LRH For what I am wanting to do: 1. Kill Paper targets out to a thousand yards (as i get more experienced be able to shoot 6in groups) 2. Kill Mule and Whitetail deer 3. Later in the year start learning handloading Help me decide on which "one" of those four are my best choice. PS. Just thinking out loud: I like the Savage rifle and since I cant find a better rifle in my price range for the 7mm wsm that pretty much eliminates it from the group unless someone can link me to one just as good as the savage?
