No problem.
Just don't do it with a 700, I have one light off about once a week in the closet.

700's are junk. I thought it went without saying I'd need crf for hunting.
I should mention I need a real good bullet. In the event I make a poor shot and have to recover the animal the next day I want it to be wounded enough I can still find it....after breakfast.

I can tell you've really researched this.
CRF is a must, you never know when you'll have to shoot a big toothy bear while doing a tactical double back flip with a 1/2 gainer in TN.

If your going to use premium bullets I'd read up on them first. I've read on the internet the boxes can be a bitch.

Yea it sounds big enough but I like to be able to buy new shells at every store I see. You know incase I leave town and don't take enough shells Guess that disqualifies my recommendation for the 358 Win.

You need to define "for all around hunting". All around TN? US? North America? World? The requirement that you need to be able to buy ammo at every store you see limits your choices seriously. .308 Winchester might be the best way to go.
Why does a man who is 50 pounds overweight complain about a 10 pound rifle being too heavy?

They all do pretty well...tough to beat a 308 130s for deer and 180 for bigger stuff..7-08 would be choice also...

Which short action chambering for all around hunting? 308 is very versatile. 7mm-08 will do 90% of anything needin' doin' in NA. As always, it's the bullet that matters most.

308 in general.
300WSM if you know you need it and can handle it well.

He said SHORT action. I'd like to say .308 Win, but we all know that's WAY under powered so... I'll go with the .458X2" American. That's probably even enough for Fox Squirrels(using solids of course).
