[QUOTE="Hookturnr, post: 1556131, member: 22612"] I voted 7mm Mag only because you didn't list P.O. Ackleys finest work and Gods gift to shooters, [U][I][B]280AI! [/B][/I][/U] My current tally with an MCR built 280ai hurling 180gr VLD H is 2 Elk, 1 Black bear, 5 Antelope, 14 Whitetail, 30some coyotes. Ranges from 15yds. to 564yds. It's an 11lb. rifle loaded with the can on, ready to hunt and it kills everything you tell it to. I've got lighter,smaller rifles and heavier, bigger rifles in the stable but this one is my go to, all the time, nearly every time. I grew up on 30/06, went 25/06 for a bit, then .260/300rum depending on animal, then I saw the light and had the .280AI built....the other guns only get out occasionally to make sure they get a kill here n there too now.. Oh, there's a 6.5CM in the stable as well, no slouch but not the versatility of the 280AI either. [/QUOTE]
