re: Question about hunting rifles...7mm Magnum vs. 30 .06 vs. .270

If you're only going to shoot whitetail and are looking at less than 250-300 yards, you can't go wrong with a 270 or 30-06.

Personally, I have a model 700 Remington in the 7mm. If I ever (hopefully) go elk hunting, then I want need a bigger gun.

Also, I'm not a perfect shot (aka, buck fever), which means that if I don't make a perfect placement with the shot, the 7mm is going to do more than enough damage to kill the whitetail. I've never had one run more than 75 yards after the 7mm met their flesh. In fact, most have dropped right in their tracks.

Good luck, Chicken, and don't kill them all
