I guess I could have posted my own favorite..lol. I've used many calibers over the years but my all time favorite would have to be the .280. I have taken Whitetails, Mulies, Antelope, Elk and Bears (add a few Exotics too) with my M-77 Ruger. I use a Redfield Illuminator widefield in 3x9. It has excellent accuracy, and plenty of power on Deer size game, even at longer ranges. Shot placement being paramount, most cartridges will do a good job, if the hunter does theirs. Good hunting, and let's hear more favorites. Thanks, Ghost<br><br>Famous last words: "Ah Bears are too big and fat to run fast"
