I have a .300 savage on a 700 action.. Honestly I really like it.. I don't use it much in Wy. but for woods hunting it is great..
Have a 7mm-08 also, but it isn't as much fun as the .300..

I've heard the 223AI was decent.
Not sure myself though. Maybe someone can start a thread about it and get everyone's opinion on it.

I like the 223AI but I might need to shoot a deer sometimes. It's not even legal in every state to shoot deers with 22 cals. Thanks though.

While not as popular for hunting these days "tacti-cool kids stole all the thunder", a 308 Winchester is flat out a great round that kills stuff with no fuss.
