Yes, the 6.5X68 would be very good as would the 6.5SAUM. I would not discount the 7mm SAUM or WSM. Others I would consider include 7X64, 280Rem or the Ackley version. The 8x68s with a 170 to 200 grain bullet in a Titan 6 would be good.

I was thinking something along the lines of a 6.5 as well..already have a 6.5 Creedmore as well as a 6.5/284 --the ballistics of the 6.5 bullets are amazing, IMHO...think they would do great pretty much anywhere in the world..all with modest recoil..

Ripp, you are getting soft in your old age

Very good point though.

Szihn, don't be a spoil sport What you say is true, it is the shooter that is the most important part and the most fallible. With a bit of practice I would not hesitate to use the 416 Rigby out to 400mts, with a lot of practice to 500. Yes I get satisfaction from pulling off a long shot but get more from getting up close.
