[QUOTE="mike33, post: 256035, member: 14195"] Probably get some negative feed back but here goes. Buy the rem 700 in 257 whby. It will kill anything in the 48. I have 2 , 1 is custom built with the good components and the other is 25-06 opened up. Very mild to nothing recoil which is the main thing. I will not mention how many 1 shot kills i have made on deer. I have 2 friends who uses it for elk in colo, and other w. states and works well. I dont care what big cannon you use you still have to have bullet placement , with this comforable shooting gun you wont get hurt on the back end and ruin your shooting skills. As far as deer up to 300 yard i think you could hit one any place and still drop it. As far as long range it will perform but you have to do your part. Im in the same boat as you when it comes to spending and if i get the chance to go out west for elk and mule deer i will def. take the 257 and not build anything bigger. My 2 cents worth.
