See title. Specifically for the "high power, bolt-action rifle with a variable-power, magnified optic" mentioned in the 5 guns post , complimenting the other guns mentioned there. If you could only have one, which would it be? I know the answer is always "it depends", but what is your thought process in deciding and what works best for your needs?
Makes sense, good info. There's a reason all those cartridges exist but I'm not at the stage where I can narrow down my shooting activities enough to accordingly min/max my cartridge choice. I didn't realize that both 6.5 and .308 have the benefit of being usable in short action rifles and others do not.
