[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1902090, member: 879"] Funny you should mention 7mm-08, that is one of the softer-kicking cartridges I pondered before I settled on the Creedmoor. I know a lot of folks like it for that reason. I knew a couple of guys at our deer camp that hunted with the .257 Roberts and so I considered it too. The 7-08 can shoot heavier bullets, the .257 Roberts, lighter bullets than the 6.5, but the Creedmoor seemed to have advantages over both of them. And just the wide variety of new ammo available for the Creedmoor made the decision easy. And I'm very happy with it so far. If I hunted in a place where longer shots were the norm, I might feel differently and might even buy a true long-range rifle. But for now I don't have that opportunity unless I take a trip out West. So for my present situation I'm practicing out to 400 yards and I'm confident at that range. Will try to go farther soon with my present rifles. [/QUOTE]
