I use Mausers in 6.5,7, and 8. I like em all.
Don't know if this qualifies as "modern", but my little carbine has accounted for a pile of dead deer and a bear using those anemic 170gr roundnose Remingtons.
With it's cute 18 inch barrel, recoil is a bit stout and it shoots pretty flames.
I just like this one.
