[QUOTE="tomsd, post: 1453885, member: 74603"] Old saying in the West: Beware of the man with one gun because he probably knows how to shoot it. :) In my case - the trusty 30.06 - but I don't begrudge anyone a 7 Mag. For Deer/Elk - prefer the 180 grain bullet in .30 cal. Otherwise - just for plinking - have .17 HMR savage - bull barrel, 22LR Remington - both with average scopes - and had a little .308 Rem 783 I bought for my wife - but am selling that to get a .300 Win Mag - so I can play at 1,000 yard shooting and also reach out effectively beyond the .06 - about 150 yards - 600 max? if need be - but with perfect conditions. If I wanted a longer range varmit rig - might get the new hot caliber - 6.5 Creedmoor. Everything else is nice to have - but not essential. :) [/QUOTE]
