Help fill the caliber gap.....

Skinner???

 

[roche1982]

seems pretty obvious to me that you would like the 7mm REM MAG there

 

[madtrapper143]

If the lever was removed and you squinted really hard you could almost make it look as good as a 7600. But alas it just comes back into focus again....

Oh come on SC it's not that bad....

At least it doesn't have a thumbhole.

Me pense the weather back east awn the A'ttlantuck izz werk'n gainst awll yew'awll.
Pump rifles?
Wow.

25/06 compliments a 35 Whelen nicely. Shoots flat and hits above its weight class. A little light for moose but many use a 270 with cheap blue box shells and a premium bullet from a 25/06 will out perform those.

Try one Looky, you just might like it.

.280 has my vote if you don't want a long barrel.

Personally I would go with (already have) the 270 WSM (especially for the 400 yard work), but I voted 7mm Rem Mag, which better fills the void for all the work closer than this.

 

[patricksbb391]

280 or even better a 280AI.

Hmmm... I would tend to think that the 7mmRM would be better than the 270 WSM past 400yds. That's been my experience anyway.

6.5x55. Nuff said.

Ha ha funny guy... I thought you said you liked my BLR? Ha ... Now I know you were just lying. LOL. Seeing your a 7600 fan, mine just got better...a Timney trigger kit was put tonight. Works great.

BTW Super Cub, none of my rifles will ever have a thumbhole stock. It's just not me......

To everyone else thanks so far for your replies, still doin a lot of reading on the calibers I've listed. Ie: what guns are available in the calibers that interests me, and just info on the calibers other people have posted about. Cheers!

I agree

 

[saskcop]

You need a .300 mag of some kind. You would probably find yourself reaching for it more than the rest.

 

[The Kurgan]

6.5x55. Nuff said.

Yep, that would be my second choice.

 

[a j cave]

Like many here, I have owned most of these cartridges. No 260. The only one I use now is the 280. It does all I want. That said so did the 7-08,270,06,308, and 300wm. With new bullets available each caliber is much more versatile.

The 270 WSM shoots a bit flatter and delivers a tad more energy beyond 400?

Pretty much sums it up
