I hunt with what I like, my first rifle ever and still my primary is my ruger 7mm remmag, gonna use my new 7-08 this season too. Sure glad I had my 7mm when I came across this guy at 300+ yards. Longest shot I've ever took, was still hunting and saw him in a cut down corn field. He ran about ten yards to the tree night and was not far in the woods, after cleaning him, he had a hole in his heart.
