[QUOTE="AMT7, post: 2619896, member: 32064"] 2nd with a big vote for the 7 WSM. Have 2 of then (my middle son loves his also) best investment ever made in 1000 yard gun for $400 in model 70 mid 2000's pre '64 quality reproduction of sorts super shadow flavor. Both shoot hole in hole @100 yds with factory Win supreme ovepacked ammo in XP2 & sight in with never more than 6 rounds. XP3, XP4 heavier projectiles avail for large thick skinned game. We just never see temp or humidity related accuracy variances like some slower powder magnum loads. Take a look at how fast and flat the charts are for it. There really is not a rifle one better with its range of bullet weights available with that energy way out there at under 6.5 lbs for us smaller framed gentlemen. Just phenominal consistency (like our reloads are doing for pistol .380 acp, 9 para & 10mm with 2moa with no rest @ 100 yds) from factory stuff is almost rare.
