[QUOTE="CLP308, post: 587840, member: 30319"] I have an older Rem Model Seven in .308 w/18 1/2" bbl. I have some Barnes 168gr VLC BTHP's loaded with 43gr of Accurate 2230 chronod @ 2800 and have taken deer from 30yds in the thick brush to 275yds accross an open field and they all fall. It's topped by a Simmons Aetec 1.5-6X32 scope. Wish I had a little more scope in the open but it works well. Maybe the new Leupold VX-6 2-12X 40? Bottom line is .308 or .338 Federal would be my choice. And a light rifle like the new 7 will run you about $550-600. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
