My thoughts on an ideal battery, with a twist of heavy/light. The actions are the same for both in each category so it counts.
:
Mini : Anschutz 1907 and 1712 --- .22 LR -- 40 grain
Small : Kimber 84M Pro Varmint and Montana --- .223 Rem -- 50-62 gr (1:9)
Medium : Winchester M70 Stealth and FWT SS --- .308 Win -- 125-150 gr (1:12)
Large : Winchester M70 Super Grade and FWT SS --- .30-06 Sprg -- 180-220 gr (1:10)
Magnum : Winchester M70 Safari and Alaskan SS --- .375 H&H -- 270-350 gr (1:?)
Easy to tell I like CRF Mauser style stuff as I've had mediocre luck with push feeds. I also like common cartridges and components. If I had to hunt in France I would choose a .270 Win, otherwise I would like to share bullets and powders between the .308/.30-06. I think Kimber should make a sporter style stainless .223 with a barrel contour between the Montana and the Pro Varmint.
