RE: If you were gonna but a gun wat would it be ?
If I were to choose between those two, and I didn't have a rifle in either caliber, I would go with the 7400. I have a 700 ADL .30-06 already, and I'm not too big on semi-autos for deer because of accuracy issues. But if you can keep your groups small, the.30-06 will really do a number on North American game.
