<<<<<<<<<<<<&l t;< great round


i only carry one rifle, a 7mag... i mostly hunt deer, but am planning to hunt bear and elk in the future... its a great all-around cartridge... as for the a-bolt, never used one so can't comment... but will say this, if you're debating about a 7mag and a 243, split the difference and get a 270 and call it a day...
