[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1832386, member: 69478"] What are you wanting to hunt exactly? Also, how far do you plan to shoot? I recently have been working with a couple new 700s, both in 7mm Rem Mag. That’s an excellent cartridge to do everything with. It’s available in a lot of Model 700 variations, factory ammo is plentiful, brass is everywhere, and it can be loaded with lots of different bullet weights. It also doesn’t beat you up and the two rifles I recently have been working with both had nice recoil pads and with 150-162gr bullets they kicked like a .308 Winchester. If you don’t want or need something that big, then look into a 6.5 Creedmoor. I know that cartridge is brought up a lot, but it really is a great round for medium game and shooting mid to long range. Also has lots of factory ammo and it’s also easy to load for and it shoots really well. It’s the 21st Century version of the .308 really. It does a lot of things well and isn’t hard to shoot or too expensive to practice with. [/QUOTE]
