... was what?
It seems to me, that a lot of peoples opinion on best caliber, is based on a caliber that they first started hunting with. My first center fire was/is a Remington 721 .270 Win. To this day I think that is the best gun/caliber there is. Is it because that is what I started out with and have the most experience with------Well yea of courese it is. My dad to this day is a .270 man as well. Except for a brief experience with a 22-250 he first started hunting with, his .270 is all he has shot. To him, his .270 is the best gun there is.
I just gut my third center fire rifle in a Savage 7MM STW. I will probubly shoot it more this year because it is new, but I will always take my .270 as a back up.
My aresnal now consists of a:
Ruger MarkII .257 Roberts
Remington 721 .270 Winchester
Savage 112FVSS 7MM STW
As you can see I am faithful to no one brand. I guess I need a DG .416 or better for all the DG in Texas, I don't hunt, to round out the group.
