I use a 30-06 which is best to use in the areas that I hunt. I would like to get a 7mm\08 for my son, which is currently using a .300 savage. Like what was said before, to each his own.

STEP 1: Choose a weapon of adequate caliber/stopping power without over doing it.

STEP 2: Make absolutely sure that you are well practiced and absolutely accurate with the weapon of your choice.
