The 7.62x39 doesn't reach out far enough. The area's can be quite open and getting closer will not always be practical or an option.
Have a look at the Grendel on line, very impressive , bit of a freak that works.
This isn't a project I even wanted to go down. I have shot Deer and don't enjoy it, to date I have dropped 11 and let at last count 63 animals go.... I had meat in the freezer and just enjoyed watching them .
The rifle needs to be versatile / effective and FUN.
I plan to buy a dual purpose motorbike , strap the rifle over my back, drop a Fallow , bone it out and ride out ( picture riding into a perfect sunset, world class scenery, cold beer and large breasted naked women ) ahhhh.... all done with a $1000 Howa...does it get any better.....and don't worry mate, every donkey will be head shot so no meat lost. I'll let you know when the BBQs on the hotties are serving the cold beer.Attachment 74342

Interesting you say that "every donkey will be head shot", but you also say your shooting will range from "50-600m"?
I think there are more important things to sort than which trendy 6.5 cartridge you want.
