[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 2733567, member: 109378"] If you just want something cool and different go with the 6.8 Western. It is a shortened .300 Ruger, necked down to .277, very similar to .270WSM. But with its 1:8 twist it shoots very long pills at about 2900 fps and hits at 500 yds with the same energy as a .300 Win Mag. Very high BC and SD of 165 gr Nosler ABLR or 175 gr Sierra Tipped Game King makes it an excellent LR hunting or "gong" rifle. Who knows, you may want to climb out of that ladder tree seat and walk around in Northern New Mexico someday. [/QUOTE]
