Man, you guys said it like there's something wrong with that.
Smokey (ya mind?) Now I am one to talk about 'more' rifles.
Of all the rifles/calibers/cartridges I have, only 2 are close together, 6.5X55 - 270 and there is a diff. there.
Mailman only mentioned 3 cals - 270, 7/08, 300. The 7/08 is close to the 270 and then there is a jump to 300.
My suggestion to him is get something DIFFERENT. The 7 wsm/6.5 are still in the same category. Diff, yes but too close together. IMO
Maybe 6mm-243, smaller 25, or BIG. 338-375 depending upon his hunting prospects or DESIRES.
To use the money for a hunt is still a good idea.
To get another rifle is NOT a bad idea either.
