I have a brother-in-law that owns 2 large tracts of land in SD. When they have land owner tags to remove the over populated critters, they use one of two rifle choices. The first being an AR15 in 6.5 Grendel (the kids rifle). http://gundigest.com/more/gundigest-tv/alexander-arms-6-5-grendel-hunter-reviewAnd the second is the Benelli R1 in a .270 WSM (for the adults) http://www.benelliusa.com/riflesThey work great in his desired application. Good luck to you in your search.

As for the Rem 742. I have one in .30-06. I bought it for $150 last year.
Never used it for hunting. But's it's accurate, and I've not have any malfunctions with it of any type... Yet.

There's a thread in the Hunter's Campfire forum about a Ruger Survey. In that survey, Ruger asks what products one would like to see produced. One of the options is a semi-auto standard hunting caliber rifle. So you and others interested can let Ruger know what you want to see produced moosemike. Link to Survey: Ruger Survey

One should never assume that people who shoot semi autos "spray and pray", especially if you don't know the person! I've seen plenty of this in PA without the semi-auto's. It's slowed down some since the antler restrictions were put in place though.

Very Nice Bull.
Jerry
No he hit him higher than ideal. We shot from the bluffs so the placement would be a bit higher than if on the same level but that was bit high. Broke the spine but the bull need a second shot. Harry's first bull.

I hunt with my Garand. Ain't that heavy. Is everyone weak? GI's carried them for miles, per day.
