| ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL GOOD CALIBERS OUT THERE I HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULL WITH MY TRUSTY OLE BROWNING A-BOLT 270 FOR 22 YEARS NOW. I WOULD LIKE TO TRY IT IN THE WSM ROUND BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF GOOD REVEIWS ON INCREASED RANGE AND KNOCK DOWN POWER.

I use a Remington 700 with a Swift 2.5-10X50 (30mm) scope. I shoot 130 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips that I handload myself.

I too favor the .284 guns. I have both the 7mm mag and .280. I have not shot the 7mm for a long time now, not because I don't like it but for deer its just a little bit over kill for me. I opt out for the .280. It is a Remington 700 synthetic stock with stainless barrel, top with a Tasco 3.5 x 10 x 50. I hand load all my amunition. I use the 140 gr ballistic tip. This gun is very accurate. I have just about all the calibers you have mentioned on the poll. But with the speed and accuracy and knock down power of the .280 I am never hesitent to pick this gun up.

I really like the .270's but my favorite gun is a Marlin .35 lever action. the bullets mic'd out to match a .357 . All I hunt is heavy brush and ticketts. just my .02 cents

Remington 700 BDL in 30-06. 22 years old and still holds 1-1/2 in groups with Hornady 150 gr BTSP. I also have a TikkaT3 Lite in .308 bought new last year. If you haven't guessed it, I'm a 30 cal man. Thinking of passing the Remington to my son. If so, I'll get another Remington 06.

.30 cal -- I like anything in .30 cal. Have used a Rem M700 in 30.06 for some time. Love Hornady ammo in 150gr Interbond or BTSP. Interbonds are very accurate. Holds its weight with good expansion. I bought a Tikka T3 Lite last year in .308(I know - It's not a Remington but it has a 1" MOA guarantee and its holds it at 100 yds with the Interbonds). It kicks like a mule due to the light weight but it's manageable. Getting ready to get another .30 cal. Not sure which one, but I am going for another Remington(Hornady ammo if available for the caliber I choose).

I'ld go with 7mm but I didn't see it in the poll, w/ 150 grain Rem Core Lokt. There isn't much those other rounds will do that the 7mm doesn't do better. I've got my stainless Ruger in 7mm, seems like we're always huntin in the rain in Louisiana.

| I use a 8mm Mauser. Actually come back from overs seas from WW2. I love the knock down power of this rifle. Granted may not have the distance but you put me in some brush Ill shoot through it. Only bad part is you dont hold it right it will come back and bite ya.

| I've always liked 30-06 Springfield 150 grains Core-Lokt on a job well-done gun made by Savage. I've shot .280 Remington 140 grains Nosler on Ruger. I enjoyed the gun. If I decided to go after rifle and rifle hunt, I would want to go after .280 Remington or 7mm-08. I hear great things about 7mm-08 due to their reliability and accuracy shooting from tree stand where you cannot go wrong with it. For now, I stick with my hardcore bowhunting habits.
