[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1787410, member: 10291"] My goat rifle is also my mule deer, and whitetail LR rifle. It has served me very well for over eight seasons with a few dozen antelope and as many whitetail and mule deer taken as far as 1200(antelope) yards. At 10.5 pounds(with scope), it carries well, but is also stable enough for the long technical shots. It’s a 6.5x284 pushing 140 High BC bullets at 3000FPS. This power range is more then sufficient for antelope and you future range requirements. Light recoil will enable spotting hits. Given your actions and budget, I’d go with a 6.5, either 6.5x284/6.5PRC/264WM. For barrel, 26” heavy sporter or a bit heavier. .75-.8”. [/QUOTE]
