[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2570389, member: 87243"] Range and game certainly does makes a difference. For instance, take shooting elk at 800-1000+, personally I feel you want a decently large caliber in .284-.338 that is capable at those ranges, and shootable from field positions. For a whitetail, a small to medium .243 up to maybe .284 cal is all one really needs, a 6.5-284 is a legitimate 1000+ yard whitetail rig. Something in that range would be an excellent choice in a 7.5 lb rifle for sure! Throw a 300 or 338 rum, .300 or .338 Norma mag, 300 win mag or 30 nosler in a 7.5 lb gun, and while it is doable, it is a handful! [/QUOTE]
