I am new to the sight, but have been reading the threads just to gather some info before I even ask a question. This will be my first bolt rifle build/purchase, and I was wanting to get some input. More than likelly it will be a stevens 200 build. I am wanting a rifle that has good knok down power to be able to take deer sized game out to 500 yards, maybe more with practice. What are some caliber recomendations for this? The local shop by me is closing out the stevens rifles in 270 and 7mm-08 for $199. Further, what are some recomendations as far as making that base set up a better rifle? I reload my bullets, have a decent knowledge of rifles (just finished an ar build that is a fun tack driver in 223 now I want more power). Recoil is not a big problem with me so larger calibers could be an option.
