[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1426496, member: 12995"] The newer Browning X-Bolt Hells Canyon Long Range rifles in 7mm calibers are coming with 1:8 twist barrels now. So, honestly, if you ever plan on doing any LR shooting/plinking at the range, or eventually jump up to some LR hunting, that's the route I'd go in 7mm RemMag or 7mm-08. A lot of folks underestimate the 7mm-08, but inside of 800 yards, it's a pretty impressive round with the right bullets. And on steel/paper out to 1,000-1,200 yards it can hold it's own. It also is very light on recoil compared to the .30-06 you're looking at. Another good option for you, would be a Christensen Arms Ridgeline in .280 Ackley Improved. Light on recoil, but packs a good punch. And whether you handload or shoot factory ammo, it's a great option given that Nosler makes .280 AI brass and factory ammo for it. [/QUOTE]
