so a .243 for coons, deer, yotes, hogs, possums and any other animal in that range? what is a .223, .30/06, 30/30 good for? i would be using this gun on probably just yotes and coons and target shooting if that changes anything....

A 223 would be great for coons and yotes and target shooting. When you threw deer hunting in the equation, that takes it up another level to a 243.
What HE said!
But where are you gonna use a rifle on deer, mossberg? No rifles season for deer in OH. You got a honey hole you wanna tell us about???

no, no , no. i wanted one for deer because my uncle owns some land up in oregon and would like to go hunting there sometime for deer with him. i follow the state regulations. i use a mossberg 500 with hornady sst's that can shoot accurately to 125 yards. there wouldbe no need for a rifle for the kind of hunting i do in thick woods. do you live in hamilton? if so where?
