[QUOTE="D2wing, post: 2124585, member: 38516"] My personal choice is a Tikka T3 in 7-08 and I think it is perfect. I have shot several deer with a 7 MM mag it is great but be sure to use fast expanding bullets for deer. A 30-06 is great as is a .308. I have switched to 7-08 for accuracy and less weight and reduced recoil. All will kill deer at ranges beyond 400 yards but in my experience that's too far to shoot deer unless you are a perfect shot and use fast expanding bullets. I have shot deer with .223 and 6 MM. In my opinion they don't have the energy or velocity at long range. Great under 200 yards. BTW I hunt in Minnesota and have shot deer over 300 lbs. with a .223 as well as many other calibers. High velocity expanding bullet work best. Even big deer are thin. I have shot them end to end with a 7 MM mag. [/QUOTE]
