Well i'm pretty set on the tikka, I think. One cool idea that Robert at tikkaperformance had was to get a 7mm-08, and then ream the chamber out to 280 if/when I want to do that. The 1/9.5 twist should stabilize ~160ish grain bullets. Until that time, the 7mm-08 should be great for east coast deer and/or black bear. The only other caliber i'm seriously considering is the 30-06. 30-06 is for sure the 'practical' choice.
