[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1892196, member: 711"] The .270 kicks more than it should, especially with light rifles. I would probably go with the .308, and would get something a little heavier than average. Good exercise carrying 7 or so pounds of rifle, and excellent all around performance with a large variety of ammo. Red White and Blue or not, the 30-06 was too much for its intended role in the military. The 7x57 kicked our butts in the Spanish American war, and we should have copied it. Another caliber to consider is the 7mm-08. These are becoming popular and ammo is pretty widely available. They'll outshoot the .308, and recoil is very friendly. I built one on a Remington 700 action, and it's a nice little rifle. [/QUOTE]
