Just curious....with a handle like 7600Rem....what caliber are you shooting now? Are you considering changing? If so, why?

As far as your question goes, all of the calibers listed will put a whitetail in the dirt. I like 7mm simply due to a little better BC's & SD than the 30 calibers, at least in bullet weights I consider ideal for whitetails (140-150 Grn). All else being equal (which it's not) this would translate into flatter trajectory and better penetration. With that said, you don't "need" a 7mmMag to drop a whitetail @ 150 Yds, so why put up with the recoil.

In my mind, that leaves the 270 (long action) and 7mm-08 (short action). I prefer the short action and lighter recoil of the 7mm-08, sothat's what Ipicked. Got one in Rem 700 Mtn LSS.

By the way, Rem has a special run out now of 7600's in 7mm-08. They are available from Grice Wholesale http://www.gricewholesale.com/ I contacted Grice (as I'm interested in one myself) and they still have the 7600 7mm-08 special runs in stock.
