RE: Building a rifle-need suggestions
i am a fan of the 35's
i also hunt in maine depending on where you live shots can be up close and personal out to over 200yds in some clear cuts, logging roads and potatpo fields.
what about a nice 35whelen? fine medicine for the moose tag you are always wanted to get pulled for and bear caliber.
plus down the road if you need the $$$ you will never have the problem selling her. i know alot of people looking for that round in a nice gun. my second pick would be something between what you have already. maybe a 280rem. fine caliber and still wish i never got rid of mine. or a 7mm-08rem.
good luck !!! let us know what you decide to pick out.
