I'm a northeasterner. For over 45 years I used a 742 Rem in 30-06 for everything east and west, until I refinished the stocks and retired it. Now, with 3 safes full of rifles, a Montana in 7-08 has become the go-to for the last 5-6 years, with a Ruger 77RL Ultra Light tanger in 260 Rem getting the nod just once in awhile to mix things up. Both shooting 120 TTSXs. I intend to take them to Newfoundland for moose, if they ever relax the vax requirement.
