802,
I ve been to some parts of Texas,love the drive thru liquer store thing,thats crazy.
I'm from Montana,the first gun I ever owned was a 30-30 win my mom gave me to hunt with.When I was 13-14 years old my dad bought me a 30-06 spring. to hunt with.As any kid I longed for a fast accurate deer rifle I could set up on a pivot and shoot 400 yds no prob on deer and varmits.I scrimped and save and bought a Ruger (old model) med weight varmiter in 25-06 rem.I have shot alot of game with this gun from small gofers to elk.Shoot varmits with 85 gr hollow points to elk with 115 gr Barnes X-s
This gun will handle it all in Texas and you will be impressed.
I just bought a 7mm-08 rem this year and plan on hunting deer and elk with it,yes I said elk.
The beauty of the Encor rifle is you can get diffrent barrels for it,I my self have always wanted one.You won't be disipointed with the gun.I my self I would go with the 25-06 rem,I JUST LOVE this cartrige.
But the fun of buying a new gun is making the right choice YOU WANT.
Best of luck BBJ
