Really worried guys...i have a 223, 257 Roberts, 243, 260, 6.5x55, and 308. Y'all think I will be ok for deer season?? I got that huge gap a 7mm should fill...
Only 6 deer rifles...i shudder at the thought that the backup to my backup's backup might fail...

If you culled all but the .257 and .308 you’d be just fine. “ Hi, I’m Bob and I have a rifle problem “.

Not that I would, but for deer season I could cull all but the 260.

Ditch the 308 and replace it with a 7-08. Or, keep the 308 and add the 7-08 anyway.

Isn't it against the law to not own a 30-06? Come on Matty-step up to the big boomers.

No need for an 06 and a 308. He’s gotta make the jump to 7mm RM. or 300 WSM.
