Killed my 1st deer w a 7-08 in 1992. M70 FWT. Owned 3 M70s in various configs and (3) 700s, BDL SS sporter, BDL - Varmint, and VLS. Also had. M7 in 7BR built which served up 120's @2878mv and did nice work.
Guess over the past 25 years I've been doing more R&D in 6.5's. The Swede, -08, Creed, and now a Lapua. 4 in 55mm, a custom -08 pre-260 Saami, (2) 260's, one Creedmoor and now the 47.
All were sold or traded but the 47 which remains. All worked well.
I detect recoil and blast and all of the above are mild - modest depending on load and barrel length. All accurate and deadly.
Soon if Kimber does a 6mm Creedmoor - that might be the Newest Latest Greatest
Good shooting, hunting, and R&D.
