[QUOTE="usmc1986, post: 1244549, member: 13489"] I'd vote for 7-08, 6.5x55 or .308. Recoil will be less, ammo is less expensive as are components. Don't get caught up on speed for hunting. 300 yards isn't a very long distance unless your talking lever guns type of calibers. .308 in an ultra lite hunting config will push a little bit but still a little less than a .30-06. Sold my .300 Win mag a few years back. It's overkill for the ranges and size of the animals I was hunting here in OK. I don't hunt elk enough to justify keeping it around. I personally prefer heavy slow bullets for hunting ala .35 Rem with 200 grainers under 200 yds. Smacks deer and hogs really hard. [/QUOTE]
