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.

Then the 340 Tyrannosaurus is your best bet.

If you always leave your gun loaded it's never a problem.

You can get one more if you always have one in the chamber.

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.
