CO Bob,

I applaud your efforts here... you are a true inspiration...

Not only are you getting great advice between the two calibers in order to base your purchase decision upon, but you are also building a list of very solid arguments to go off and buy the second rifle (I just need a little more punch power at longer distances, etc...), even more rifles when you consider the additional calibers that have been brought up here.

Well done. I hope you won't mind me quoting this message thread when my wife asks me why I'm buying a new rifle this summer.

Cheers
