[QUOTE="dun, post: 38845, member: 34"] Well, for whitetail I use either a Contender in 6.5 Bullberry Improved ora .250 Savage. For Mule deer, a .257 Roberts improved or the 6.5 BB Imp. A lot depends on how much larger game you're talking about. The only real thumper (to me anyway) that I was ever able to shoot well was a 7mm Rem Mag., although offhand a .375 H&H in a Ruger #1 Tropical was a pretty easy shooter.g The .375 would do the job on the really big bears and the 7mm would work on smaller bears, elk and even moose if you use the 175 gr and select your shots. But for that matter, other then a little more range, a .30-06 with 220s would also do the job. The only 06 I have is the Garand and too heavy to lug around , although I did use it for coyotes for a while one year. I personally can't shoot a 300 mag, even the wincheste version. It just crosses my eyes and gives me a head ache. Rather then a 7-08, I'ld go with a .308. I've wacked a lot of venison with an old Rem 700 in 308, used it for jack rabbits one year too. That was one of the big advantages to having a gunshop. I could take in used stuff in trade and then play with it till it sold. dun [/QUOTE]
