I want to get up in your part of the world with a couple of my rifles (that's an easy choice - I only have two) and bust some gongs or rocks at insane ranges. The last game animal to kill I have left, on my rather short list, is a nice Mule Deer.

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
