Sammo, Don't tell Stick but here's what I've been using for deer and elk the past three years...(I know...I know..they're a goatfück-being fücked by another goat-while a Texan watches!). Not to mention, I've been lobbing boolits with the B.C. of Hillary in a muumuu... Seriously, I've been in the thick stuff recently and the short length and light weight are a bonus. Don't need tack drivers for one shot! 9.3 Mouser with Hornady 286 gr at ~2400 fps 757 Mouse with (gasp!) 175 gr RN (the horror...the horror) 77/44 with 300 gr WFN P.S. I did get an antelope last year with the Tikka in .223.
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...
Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.

My go to for the last 5 years or so Model 70 fwt 30-06, 165gr Accubonds I love that rifle. I wish I had one just like it.!!
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

One of my favorites: .270 on a commercial Mauser action with a Krieger barrel and Larry Caudill stock. I actually gave this one to my son-in-law in December--he wants to start hunting deer with his brother up in Nebraska. I'll miss it, but it went to a good home...
