Saskabush, good meeting you bud and sure next time your back touch base we'll arrange something. Congrats tothe bro-in-law on getting his first buck...super! Sounds like the traffic picked up out that way, thursday I only saw you guys in my travels. As to the buck on the tree rows it was north and east of where we met, the same area I mentioned to you in our convo that day! You kinda got the crapo stick this week for hunting but hey such is life sounds like you had a good time any way. Safe travels home. PS sorry for razzin' you.

AG, understandable with the added info why you might want a 7mmremmag and especially a lighter rig. Being a OTC user your limited with what you can do with either but your right the 7mm rem mag has more potentials with 140grs for sheep hunting purposes.Another option would be to buy a dedicated sheep gun and keep the 300wm as well. .277 cals are very popular for such usage and it might be worth checking into availability of ammo, etc on the likes of a 270wsm.

Wiat a minute you said you want a yote buster and sheep gun what about a 25-06? Federal load 100gr TSX that would work great for any sheep. 25-06yields a flat trajectory and is an excellent deer sized cartridge. It doubles very nicely as a varmit rifle as well. I plan on building a .25cal myself, most likely a .257 wby on a 7rem mag chambering b/c being left handed I can't find a 25-06 in a rifle I like(currently).
