Also this might help, put up a high seat on the small permission for the deer, that way you should have know worries with back stops,there is no better back stop than straight into the ground..

Cheers mate, will check out the .26 also and yes I have already purchased a high seat and identified the trees it will go against, the one thing the smaller perm has going for it (apart from more than its fair share of deer) is most of the Eastern boundary is a bank ranging from 3' to 6' so it does have some good back stops.

I shoot a 6.5x55SE, and it ain't no 1000yard target rifle, that's for sure.

However, make up your own mind.

Well nothing is down on paper yet so will crack on with the research before committing, might revert to a .308, if not it just gives me a reason for another rifle down the line
