I recently decided to semi-retire all the rest of my centerfire bolt rifles in favor of having 1 go to, do all, hunting rifle. MY idea of a versatile hunting rifle, considering I hunt whitetails, elk, pronghorn, groundhog, coyotes, wild boar, & black bear is Browning A-Bolt 2, making a exhibition grade+ grade Claro Walnut stock chambered in 30-06, Nikon Monarch 5 3x-15x-42mm, and I've worked up 2 loads that will cover everything I hunt just fine, AND they both are surgical accurate, & impact with 1" of each other. The 1st load is Nosler 150gr Ballistic Tip, for whitetails on down, and Nosler 180gr Accubonds for elk & the like. It's all I'll ever need, but am playing with the idea of a fly weight 7mm08 exclusively for hard all day, days on end whitetails, weighing in the 4.5-5.5# range before scope, and will be shooting for (pun intended), 6.5# or less fully kitted & loaded.
