Best overall rifle for guys over 70

[mt terry d]

I’m good out to 500+. This season my shot was 335. No suppressor or break

I’m 70
I’ve been pretty successful through the years but never so consistently deadly (and at much longer ranges) since I switched from 300WM & 7mmWbyMag to 223 & 77TMK
This year elk at 260,310 & 510
Mulie buck at 440
Old dogs actually can learn new tricks

Jeez, I must be missing the boat. I’m about to turn 67 and 3 of the 4 rifles I hunt with the most are a 338 Win Mag, 375 H&H and 416 Hoffman.

There's still time.

I'd say practice more with the Creedmoor. This deer died in October this fall. Exit about 2" across with double lung shot. Instantly folded at 300 yards at the shot. One of many animals up to bull elk repeatedly killed nicely with 140 vld shot from 2600 to 2900 fps. I've never seen the 140 vld fail, extremely consistent with no tracking needed.
