Help me choose my next gun.
I'm got the itch to buy a new gun, but don't know what to get. The gun will be used for small deer out to 100-125 yards. I currently use these for deer:
308 BLR 12 Ga Slug semi auto 8mm Mauser bolt 50 Cal Inline 44 Mag redhawk 45 acp 1911 Marlin and Winchester 30-30s What do you think I should add to my arsenal? thanks, t |
7mm-08 perfect deer medicine
|
Nice 243. Nothing is funner than plinking and range shooting a 243 and getting great shot placement on a deer. Ammo is cheap and plentiful and you can afford to shoot a lot of smaller than deer game as well.

I'd find a new reason for a new gun, you have deer at 125yds covered...
with a .30-30 and .308... |
Grab that 8mm Mauser (I'm assuming it's a M-98 Mauser) and remove the barrel and have a .25-06 barrel installed from Brownells.....(under $100)...add to it every year for several years until you have a full blown custom.....you'll not buy better!

Get outside the common stuff. 257 Roberts or 250 Savage
|
I would go with either the .243 or .257 Roberts.All will take deer and can also be used for varmints.Just match the bullet to the critter and you're good to go.
|
+ 1 for the .243 - doubles as a predator gun also.
|
If you want something really unique,go w/a 7-30 Waters in either rifle or Thompson single shot pistol.If you're not familiar w/this,its a 7mm on a 30-30 case.The ballistics are good considering case capacity.For hunting or plinking.

ill tell ya a perfect little gun for deer at 100-150 yards,,,its got to be the ruger 44 mag carbine...it hits like a frieght train and is smooth and fun to shoot..you can trian your kid to hunt also with it...or its a great womans gun because it wont tear her shoulder off...my little sister has one and you would have to break her arms to get it away from her...shes got quite a few deer too.
