Thread: Insight / Discussion RE magnum calibres for mountain rifle

500 and in, lightweight and shoot able a 6.5 creedbore is pretty hard to beat. Still cheats the wind, holds plenty of energy, and doesn't hop all over the show so you can get a second shot off when prone.
Throw a 10 power on there and call it done. I've been thinking along the same lines. Honestly after quite a few wild cats or rare calibers it's bloody nice being able to buy a box of factory ammo if needed.
