Thanks for all the info guys. I guess I was just looking for a new deer rifle. I also have a model 760 30/06. The 06 needs to be redone and needs a new scope. I don't know if I should get that redone and a new scope. The problem is that it was my grandfathers gun And is very sentimental...should I use it or not? I was thinking 7mm-08 but there was a few suggestions for 270 because I have a 300 and a 30-06. What to do? Any further input with these guns is appreciated....
