I have an A-bolt Stainless Stalker in .30-06. The rifle will shoot 150 grain Accubonds into 2/3" groups. i have shot 10 deer in the last 5 years with this rifle.
7mm vs. .30-06? Buy whatever you like-for deer hunting there isn't any difference, unless you are the type to argue about an inch of drop, or 50lbs. of energy!!
