[QUOTE="imyourhuckleberry, post: 2124439, member: 18206"] Hey Janno as another lefty shooter you have every option available to you. I prefer to use rifles the other kind of people use...you know the righty's. For me I find it easier to work the bolt with the right hand while maintaining your cheek weld and your finger next to the trigger for a quick follow up shot if needed. I've used two rifles all my life for hunting, a savage 110C and a Tikka T3 lite both factory rifles shooting sub-moa at 200 yards with 165 grainers both in 30-06. I would say that if I ever wanted to change to a different caliber it would be the 7mm magnum it is a great caliber . My other choice would be a 7mm-08, very low recoil compared to your 7mm and capable of getting the job done at the distance you want up to 600 yards on deer and about 350 give or take a few yards on elk. You want to honor your ancestors, hunt with 15 pound rifles like they did, use what you have already. Tikka is a great crazy accurate rifle out of the box and lite. min rifle weight a little over 6 pounds plus the 9 power scope. [/QUOTE]
