By far my favorite greenfield gun of all time. I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted..... proud Cracker-Americaan muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one

I prefer 7mm-08 but there’s really not much difference in the two. Last edited by hayman; 01/16/20 08:45 PM. “Everything Woke Turns To SH_T” Donald J. Trump

A 7X57, also known as 7mm mauser, would be given high marks. Like a down-loaded .270 is the best way I can describe it. A 6 mm rem is basically a "hot" .243 so that maybe a consideration, too.
