if you ever think you might use it on deer sized game, I'd consider the 6mm Creedmoor, I have one and it's my favorite rifle to shoot. Mine is a Christensen Arms with a 24" #4 steel barrel with an Area 419 Hellfire brake, McMillan Game Scout stock with Hawkins M5 DBM. Ammo is generally easier to get (all things considered these days) and that's important if you want to shoot much.
