Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate everyone's input. I am actually leaning towards a 7 mm mag. Since I'm somewhat of a nostlagic fool for older catridges I've decided to get into the late 20th century and get a magnum. Since I have no plans to ever hunt dangerous game I think the 7 mm mag will suit me for deer, mulies, elk, sheep and moose. My next annoying question is:

The XCR or the Tikka Lite T3?

I'm leaning towards the XCR because it's a little heavier and comes with a better pad. I do however like the Tikka precision guarantee
