30-06 to 6.5 cm for me. Could've stuck with the 06 and been happy enough, but I do enjoy less recoil. The wife's rifle/my backup rifle is a 18" barreled 243 that is a real pleasure to shoot. I do not feel undergunned with either hunting anything in Colorado.
I went to REI and laid down in a “wide” model Magma 15 bag. It has a 70 inch girth at the shoulders. It seals up really well at the top though with a nice baffle and the hood is really comfortable. I’m 5’10” and 190 lbs… so I could lose a few lbs, but I’m not sure I need such a big bag. That...
