Years ago I went elk hunting just outside of Steamboat Springs Colorado.
We were able to buy our way onto some private land to hunt elk. The rancher was 5th generation.
He used a Ruger 77 in 25-06. I was suprised by
that and his response was that "If you hit em right it doesn't matter what you hit em with.
IF you hit em wrong it doesn't matter what you hit em with either."
This pretty much sums it up for me. I have several quarterbore rifles and they get used often. I have a .270 that was given to me and it rarely comes out of the safe. It is a decent beater,(Rem 700) but it will probably be donated to some young person who needs help.
