[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1827756, member: 26477"] The best all-around caliber for what you want to shoot would be a 7mm Rem Mag and here's why: 1. Weight ( you can get this rifle off the shelf at 7 lbs. or less. 2. You can get barrel lengths between 24"-26" (making carrying it through rough country easier than longer barrels.) 3. Ammunition (you can find a box of ammo usually in many bullet weight variables in almost any store selling ammo.) 4. Selection (most rifle manufactures build rifles in this caliber making selection favorable) 5. Resale (this caliber is still a very popular caliber and is always in demand) 6. Barrel wear (barrel life of this caliber is almost 3 to 4 times longer than the 280 Nosler, 7mm STW or 7mm RUM ) So, regardless about everyone's expressed stories and tales on how their favorite caliber is the best, for what you have asked of us, this caliber fits your request beyond any doubts. If you want more rifle than this then you will get more weight, barrel length and less barrel life without a huge improvement. [/QUOTE]
