Boy.....
Someof you guys are beating me up for including my 243 as one of the three.
And this cartridge is probable the most versitile of the three.
This ismy long range, varmint/small game to medium size game gun.
I guess I could have opted for a 22 or 223 or 22-250, but I would besomewhat restricted to mostly the small stuff(other than for the oneguy who hunts polar bears with a 22 and says it's not the cartridge but it's all aboutshot placement - What am I going to say to that....????)
#2) I amgoing with a7MM and it's my understanding that this gun should be able to handle all the "normal" big game plus itstill does well on the bench at 1,000 yards.
I saw quite a few of you like this7MM as well(I know this is where you find the 270 and 30-06 lovers).
#3)Lastly, for the stuff that bites back I like the 338 (and so do a lot of the Alaskian guides and outfitters and that's good enough for me).
Why not the 243 ????
