RE: What to get.
I'd go .243 Winchester! "Magnumitis" is so addictive, you are probably leaning towards a 7MM Mag, .300 or .338 magnum!
But, if you are not wanting to hunt something bigger than Whitetail size game,try a .243! You'll realize that for deer size game, there is really no need for anything bigger! And, you'll wonder why you've punished yourself with heavy recoil and magnum prices for so long! |
RE: What to get.
jag wasnt it long ago you were busting my chops cause all I used was a .243 ?
If that was you I am glad youve seen the light. .243's are awsome deer killers. Been using one for 25 years. But I just sold mine, it was a heavy barrell and I didnt like all that weight. I will get another. |
RE: What to get.
i would just go get a 7mm rem mag they are in my opinion one of the most versitile hunting rounds you can shoot. if you reload you can go anywhere from a 120gr all the way past 200gr. i use mine for everything from coyotes(explosive) all the way up to elk(i would say moose but i havnt got a chance yet) in my opinion you shouldnt get a 300 since you already have so many 30 cals but thats just me talkin

RE: What to get.
What are you going to use it for? There isn't much you cant hunt with the 06. If its a wood stock model, I might suggest getting something stainless and synthetic for nasty conditions. That 06 will punch all the brush you want. If you want to be off the beaten path, get a Ruger #1, or maybe a BAR. As for caliber, take your pick. |
