Which one & why??? Just looking for something to play with and fill gap between my 22-250 & 30-06. Looking for something all-purpose and enjoyable to shoot. Enlighten me please.
When my bolt rifles consisted only of a .22-250 and 7mm RM, my intent was to fill the 'gap' with a .25-06. Happily, and serendipitously, I ended up with a .257 Roberts instead. It quickly became my favorite rifle. That was 14 years ago and it is still my favorite. Nine years ago I decided to build a "long range" rifle and went with 6.5-06AI. My daughters love to shoot it because with the heavy barrel it is pretty low recoil. These days I also have a .243 Win, and .280 Rem filling the 'gap'.
These days I would start with a 6.5 CM to fill the 'gap'.
