B-29! Don't have to worry about bullet drop, and when you hit it, it skins it, butchers it and packages it!
In all seriousness, most likely my Ruger M77 MII in 300WM sitting in a Mickey stock. You gtg for this yr? You headed to NM? Or staying in colorado? Hoping to be GTG, have a surgery consult for my ankle beginning of next month, so hopefully I'll be able to hunt. Hunting down around Alamosa if I'm able.

Depends. Probably this one, a Ruger Hawkeye All-Weather .280 Remington. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/Ruger_Hawkeye_280_Remington1.jpg) Always subject to change, but it shoots very nicely with 120 and 140g Barnes TTSX and North Fork 140 and 165g bullets. Not sure which bullet I will go with except it won't be the 120g TTSX, which might get used for antelope come October 1st.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

My wife will be using a 280 Remington next week for her moose hunt using 160gr accubonds. What's your load data for the 140's ???

Kimber Montana 270 Win shooting the 140 gr AB. My daughter will be using a 270 as well for her moose hunt using 140gr Hornady BTSP's. I do have a lefty model 70 in a 270 Winchester. Should just take that load up some 150gr partitions or 140 accubonds and call it a day..

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Blaser R8 in 300 Weatherby with 168 grain TTSX.
I have to be ready in case a whitetail crosses my path as I have both tags this year!

A 270 Win. would be all you need. Shooting 140 and 150 grain bullets. Heck, you would be in tall cotton.

I have to be ready in case a whitetail crosses my path as I have both tags this year! Rodell, my 300 Weatherby is in an R8 also and the 168-gr TTSX was the first pill I tried. Didn't like them; it's the first rifle I've tried the TTSXs in that didn't shoot them well. Ended up with the 180-gr Accubond which it did like with the same powder. Good hunting.

30-06 in either a model 70, pre-64, or a Dakota Arms 97. Both will be sighted in with 165 Accubonds and scoped with a Zeiss Conquest for the Winchester and a S&B 6x42 on the Dakota. I may swap out the Zeiss for a Leupold or Meopta 6x42 by then, however.

Ours opens Sept. 10, I will go up on the 8th and set up camp.solo by choice this year. I will take two Dakota 76-.338WM rifles, Leupy 1.75x6 MHD scopes shooting 250NPs over 76-RE-22 and probably my Kimber MA-280AI, Swaro 3x9, shooting 160NPs over Magpro.
The Dakotas are in synthetics, but, weigh about 8-10 scoped while the Kimber MA is 6.5 scoped and I am old!!!!
Training hard now, am hopeful..................

SNAP, you are supposed to accrue wisdom with age; my vote goes to your Kimber 280 AI at 6.5. It has about a 100-150 fps on my 284 which weighs 6.25 with a Swarovski Z3 and I'm inclined to it on my own trip.
Stay hopeful and think seared tenderloins.
