Status: online 		.270 is the best shooting rifle i've ever layed my hands on and the new .270 WSM cartridge is suppose to be just as good as the old .270 accuracy wise with more knockdown power.I'de look into a .270 they are so sweet.

Status: offline 		If your wanting to go with the Rem. 700 model, buy the black synthetic and stainless barrelled 25-06, man that will be the best money you have ever spent on a rifle, I bought one for my dad for father's day and we swapped rifles this last weekend, hit a nanny in the neck at 60 yeards and dern near blew her head off, guns amazing, no kick and got PLENTY of knockdown power

Status: offline 		like arkansas brute said... a .25-06 is an awesome round!  But IMO i'de go with either a 25-06 or a 7mm remington magnum.  

I prefer the 7mm cartridge but the 25-06 would definately be my second choice.  then a .270... then .243  

on down the line I'de choose a 300 mag... and last in line would be a .308

Status: offline 		i just dun like the .308... if I was gunna go with a .30 cal I'de go for a .300 or .300 wsm WAY before the .308

many people say its the best round out there..... when you compare a 300 to a 308 your using the same bullet with more speed and energy on the same balistic coefecient just a flatter trajectory with the 300.... so why use a .308 when your gunna end up with better results with a 300?

A .308 doesnt shoot very far lol. But I like them because of the lower recoil then the .300. We have pretty much every cal and my favorites are the .243, .30-06, .300, and .308. Ill tell you what we have.

Three .300's
Two .30-06's
Two .308's
Two .270
One 7MM
One .243
One .223

And about 6 little plinkers.

Status: offline 		another vote for the 1/4 bore 06'. you don't need another 30 cal. and don't need another belted magnum. the .25-06 is simply amazing...............shoots flat........recoil is nill........and hits like a ton of bricks. i also love the .22-250 for a great all around cartidge as well. as far as rifles go there are alot of winners out there, you just need to find what feels good to you.

Status: offline 		problem is around here is its illegal to use a .22 cal on government property... which most people don't hunt forresty land but they do offer some nice wildlife if you want to drive to it.  I don't think that law spans to private land... but I dun see a problem with using a .22 cal if you know how to.

a .308 is one of the most widely used rounds out there... they shoot pretty good to about 400 yards... after that its like it has a monkey on its back... but it still shoots true to 1000 yards however you may have to aim 40 feet above the target.

My dad bought me this gun and everyone else was shooting 30-06's at the time. After I had mine for 3 years, everyone in my family is not shooting the 7mm-08. I also use ballistic tips and good lord will they bleed when hit with one of these.

Iam not trying to put you down or anything, but 210 yards is that far at all. Around here thats actually pretty close. People usually shoot easily 250 nowadays. With these high calibers range isnt a problem.

Status: offline 		if your gunna be shooting up to 500 yards I'de recommend going to a 7mm or larger.... probably go with the 300 mag. 

I'm going by some referances of prarie dog hunting but the guy only recommeds shooting the small calibers out to 400 and some to 500 on small targets.... and recommends 7mms and the 300 for longer range big game.

It's a slim chance for me though to get a shot over 300 yards.  My next purchase is going to be a strictly deer rifle... I'm looking into a 243, a 25-06 and a 270... I haven't decided which one I want yet

But, I didn't see where they were asking about a gun that they could was great at over 500 yards or whatever. In my opinion the 7mm-08 would do fine over 300 yds but I can say that I've done it. 90% of the deer we kill are within 175 yards.
