Default RE: Quality weapons and chambers

Well I went ahead and got a Tikka T3 Lite 25-06. Mainly because it doesn't overkill my needs. I compared the rifles I was looking at and this is what I come up with

The Remington 700 .270 - Very nice, smooth bolt action, lots of power versatile on virtually any game out there... Easy to find shells. It's a little on the heavy side, and very flat shooting weapon.. Good amount of kick but managable Magazine isn't removable

Savage (not the accutrigger) - 30-06 -- It's nice, versatile, too much kick for me, every shot you have to retighten your scope rings...

Tikka T3 lite 25-06 - Very light, good amount of kick but managable, nice and flat shooting, Versatile for my needs in White-tail and possibly elk, all the way down to varmant, smooth trigger and bolt action, Easy to clean as the magazine is removable.

I'll mostly only use this gun on White tail, push comes to shove I'll get a 7mm mag if I want something bigger for Bear Use will mostly take place in the mountains in WV, back where my family lives. So I met my needs and I'm satisfied I can shoot coons, and deer, and will happy for now, untill I want a black bear.
