[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1620611, member: 3455"] Marlin 7 series are switch barrel, and as far as not being "savage/stevens fan" - it's your loss. As far as caliber choice: I think you are in the same bowl I was a few months back - too much time playing with ballistics software. Trigger time is going to stomp any efficient case and high BC - pick a caliber and just shoot, shoot A LOT! If you want to practice - 308 is the king: longer barrel life, excellent ammo available over-the-counter, more open matches aka more competitive practice. If you want to compete - 260 is going to give an edge (in the matches that allow it), but without practice you won't be able to capitalize on it. [/QUOTE]
