[QUOTE="CanardNoir, post: 1547354, member: 64559"] Just like boats, vehicles, women, and just about everything else - hunting rifles are a compilation of compromise. "Manageable recoil" would be my first personal concern; and "effective range" my second. As an older-professional-guide out West once quietly reminded me before a 400-yd shot with a .270 Win: [I]"This is Big Country..."[/I] (not the Oklahoma distances you may be more accustom to) To Sherm's point above: 1) At best, the 6.5CM (130gr) is a 400-yard elk round in the hands of a seasoned-High Country shooter; 2) The .300 WM (150gr) is an easy 500-yard elk round (2,000 fps/1.300 ft-pd of energy minimum); and 3) [I]"Who told you..."[/I] the 6.5 CM was good a choice? [I]A word to the wise should be sufficient...[/I] [/QUOTE]
