[QUOTE="Remi, post: 5819292, member: 21887"] I don't think the 30-06 is ever a bad choice, nothing wrong with a 300 win either. The biggest thing for me when I went west was I wanted something I could practice with a lot and be confident with out to 400-500yds. I went with the 7-08 because I like the .284 bullet selection and it's something from my 7lb tikka I can shoot from field positions 20-40 times in a range session and not need a trip to the ER. One of the guys brought his 7rm mag over and we shot at 400 and 600yds. He made zero hits on a 12" plate, no fault of rifle or cartridge, and after 20 rounds he quit shooting. He was absolutely beat to death, we were shooting prone off of backpacks. 3 from my Tikka 7mm08 at 808yds with an swfa 6x. I didn't feel under gunned [/QUOTE]
