As a fellow " Cheese head" , I would say you can' t go wrong with a 7mm-08 to a 7mm Mag. If you don' t see yourself getting another rifle for a long time after you buy this one, I would lean toward a 30-06 or 7mm mag. They will easily cover you for the biggest bucks in Buffalo County or black bear to mule deer, elk, antelope etc out west. Accuracy is much more important than knock down power here in the Badger state. Most bucks are taken from less than 75 yards away.

This weekend at the EAA Oshkosh, you can try almost all calibers of rifles from numerous manufactures at the Ducks Unlimited Great Outdoors Festival. Pull up Ducks untlimited to find out more.

Shoot until you find one that is comfortable.

Good Luck,
