Which would be the better rifle???
I'm planning on purchasing a new rifle. I have several different calibers already. I want something ideal for long range shooting. I go to the range frequently and enjoy shooting long range, but I also want something that will be good for hunting antelope and deer. I have it narrowed down to .243 and .308 I know they both have different pros and cons. I'd appreciate any input on the two calibers, or info on another caliber my fellow hunters/shooters have for me. Thanks!

Without a doubt the 308 for long range capability and a wide selection of animals you can hunt with it.
|
yeah if i was picking just one definitely 308
|
Thanks guys. That's the direction I've been leaning....

Stormin,
" I have several different calibers already" Which ones do you have already ? |
I wouldn't have a problem with the .243........
|
Sheridan,
I currently have .22 Mag, .223, 762x39, .270, .30-06, and .35 Remington |
If I already had a 30-06 I may lean towards a 300wm with a 165 gr bullet for goats and deer.
|
That .270 is perfect, unless you want to move up to a 7MM Rem Mag.
Both will do what to want to do (Long Range) and more ! |
You already have a 270 and 30-06. I would look at the 338-Lapua or 6.5 x 284.
