All hail the 280 (my personal fav)
I don't buy into the "ammo is hard to find" argument on any ammo these days. We are all obviously computer literate enough to surf the web so ammo is just a mouse click away:

The Rem core lokts will kill pratically anything you would want to chase with the great ole 280. If they aren't good enough you can always opt for the federal premiums with a host of quality bullets.
The recoil on my Browning Abolt is tame. Just a light little kiss on the shoulder reminding me to unsheath my knife.
