[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1918017, member: 93895"] I think you named some very good factory rifles. My personal favorite caliber is 7mm with 6.5 mm after that. If you are going to run factory ammo, and you are going to hunt and do a bit of repetitive target shooting. I think a 6.5 prc would be nice. Savage has some to offer in 6.5 prc. I would also consider a 7mm Remington magnum. You may have to try several varieties of ammo in the 7mm rem mag to find what it likes but that is not a strike against the cartridge itself but rather an abundance of ammunition options that are not ideally loaded for accuracy. I would go for a heavier barrel in the 7mm rem. 6.5 PRC would be a quick easy option and I would tend to stay away from a factory Sporter weight pencil barrel with it. 7mm rem mag is my around favorite But as I said, 6.5 prc would be quicker & easier for someone starting out.
