Which is why these threads go on for pages and pages. Last edited by BobinNH; 03/08/13. The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I did almost that for several years in my 20's, except the 22 was a 22 WMR. Back then I had less money, but a lot more time to hunt, and shot more stuff with that combination than I do now that I am "better equipped". �Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him had better take a closer look at the American Indian.� - Henry Ford

Maybe, but given the current availability status of 22LR, maybe a bolt-action 223 would be of more use, but only if you reload so you can load it down. I always thought buying a 22mag was silly if a reloader owned a 223 bolt.

Westcoaster Campfire Regular W Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,094 British Columbia	There are two answers to this thread and none are wrong. Real life answer. .22lr CZ 452, Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather in 3006, and a Winchester Model 12 12guage. Actual answer nowadays. A .222 in a CZ 527, a 6.5x55 Model 70 Classic Featherweight, a Browning Safari in 3006, a Model 70 Classic in 338wm, and a 416 Rigby in a CZ550 for when I go to Africa for a Cape Buffalo. I never saw the point of .222 until a friend gave me one to use for as long as I want. Crap, now I've got to buy one.

Otto33 Campfire Greenhorn O Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 37	Actually just decided to pare things down a little this year. I kept my .22 and 12 gauge and sold a few other rifles. I'm having a 6.5x55 done up and I'm spending money where I should have when I got started - glass. I would really like a 9.3x62 someday though. Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws.
