RE: NEED RIFLE!!!
.243, .25-06, .260. I use a 7.62x39mm SKS (a .30 cal), but it's not great at much more than 125 yrds for anything. I've also used a .30-06 with 110 grain handloads for coyotes, and it's definately enough for deer. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
GOTTA LOVE THAT MARLIN MAGIC!!!!
