Name the cartridge and the type of setup you would want it in.
ie, ultralight, sporter rifle, heavy rifle.
stainless/blued, wood/laminate/synthetic
include barrel length and any other key features you may feel important.
Assume open country mule deer and plenty of stalking/hiking on a hunt.
270WSM hands down, 130 or 140 gr. partions or accubonds will get the job done.
