[QUOTE="clownbuster, post: 1322300, member: 22486"] I own all three calibers mentioned, and without knowing what game you're hunting (assume Elk and and Deer), what your idea of and actual long-range capacities are (assume 1000 yards) and if you'll be reloading (assume yes), I'd recommend the 6.5 SAUM. Low recoil (even with my 8.7 lbs total weight carbon rifle), long barrel life, boringly accurate, and a 6.5mm 140 gr leaving the barrel @ 3100+ (mine runs 3135fps) carries plenty of energy at that distance to kill with one well-placed shot. -6.5 SAUM Specs: -26" Proof Carbon Fiber barrel -140gr Berger Hybrids -3135 fps -2242fps @ 1642 ft/lbs at 1000 yards That said, my 7mm-300WSM built on a long action with 7mm 180gr Bergers is still my favorite big game, long range rifle and sees the most time out of the safe. Scary accurate, fast, laughs at wind, simple to make loads, low recoil, and kills everything standing in front of it from a long way out. 7mm-300WSM Specs: 28" Proof Carbon Fiber barrel -180 Berger VLD -2954 fps -1700 fps @ 1100ft/lbs at 1000 yards.
