Looking at a Howa 1500, TC Venture, Mossberg Patriot or a Savage but can't decide on 30-06, 308, 270, or 7mm-08. Don't want a light weight rifle looking for something that can absorb the recoil but also something that is comfortable to carry. This rifle will mainly be used here in the east for white tail but with possibility of an elk hunt years down the road. BTW my budget is no more than 800 and that includes optics.
