[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1312197, member: 12193"] I'm not a big fan of the 6.5s for long range hunting. I know there are plenty of people that use them successfully but I like something in .270 or 7mm for a deer gun. For elk its .30 or .338. It sounds like you're set on a short action so I'd recommend the 7mm SAUM. This can be loaded down to 7mm-08 levels with 120-140 grain bullets for a very mild recoiling target gun. Or you can stoke it up with 150-180 grain bullets for a hard-hitting hunting rifle. I would do a 24" barrel with Mini-Magnum Muscle Brake. [/QUOTE]
