Pic is .243 exit wound on spine shot at 180 yards. .243 will fuck shit up. If you need bigger it's because your woman is a loose whore.

Depends where I'm going and what I'm after really, one of my rifles has a 6.5-20x50 Simmons Whitetail and the other has a 2-7x33 Leupold vx-1 but money no object I'd be shopping for a 6x scope like a Bushnell 6500 or a Leupold VX-6 in 2-12 or 2.5-16.

>>636262
I do nearly all my shooting somewhere between dusk and dawn and irons just don't work at night, YMMV but I just can't see them, maybe I should try some flouro paint.

Savage 110 .243 that I got for my 13th birthday. I replaced the shitty Blazer scope it came with with a Nikon Buckmasters 3-9x40 when I was 22.

I really want a tikka t3 or something similar in .308 or 30-06 even though I know .243 is more than adequate for whitetail. A new rifle would be better for my Alaskan adventure fantasies which will never come into fruition.

This one has served me damn well though. Stock is beat to shit. I should sand and refinish it.

243 is an excellent caliber for whitetails.

If you buy lighter gr ammo, you can use it for woodchucks, coyotes, racoons, ect ect.

Heavier loads are great for whitetail deer.

Personally I think a caliber like a 25-06 is about ideal for whitetails, or 7mm-08. Those 2 calibers are almost identical with the same gr. You can go heavier gr with the 7mm-08 and lower gr with the 25-06.

Kimber Montana in 243 AI, with a 6x SWFA MQ. Use it for whitetail durr here in the midwest, pronghorn and elk out west, and blacktail durr and caribou in AK.

All depends on where you are I'm in the southeast ie sc and I use a 270. Which is honestly almost to fast get a lot of almost survivable pass throughs but I don't have any 600 yard lines of sight so 243 would be just fine here

Hilariously, 243 Win loads are typically higher velocity than 270 Win, when comparing their respective ends of weight spectrums.

But you don't know that because you don't know what you are talking about. If you're shooting a bullet that fails to perform across all impact velocities it might see, you are done before you start regardless of headstamp.

TL,DR: Bullets matter more than headstamps.

Well that all depends OP, I generally hunt in dense forest in the Northeast, so I use a Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70 with Iron Sights, but it may get a reflex red dot in the near future. for longer range when I lived in Colorado I have a Ruger 77 in .30-06 with a Nikon Bullet Drop Compensator 3-9x on it.I also ocassonally hunt Whitetails from a treestand with a GP-100 in .357 and I have an antique Savage 99 in 30-30 but that is mostly retired nowadays. I also have a Mossberg 500 with a slug barrel for shotgun only areas.

Right? It is the best gun and the only one I needed, but it was a gift from someone who isn't around anymore and the stock is rather fragile now. I still hunt with it but if its raining or I'm going to be hoofing it a long way, it stays home. It doesn't have a sling because I didn't want to drill into the beautiful wood. The 45-70 was kind of a necessity as 30-30 makes a poor round for moose.

Iron sights don't work well in that magic 15 minute period before sunset or after sunrise. I use an old 30-30 when I'm stalking in the midday though.

.243 also experiences worse wind drift and starts to tumble before .270 with a comparable bullet.

Not to mention at 50 yards it should present well for a shot the chest. If you can't kill it ethically, don't take the shot. Wait for another presentation.

How come you have that huge muzzle brake on a .308? A bipod seems a strange choice on a rifle with iron sights. Otherwise, I like your rifle.

Yeah, the great thing about a savage is you're not gonna be scared to beat it around a bit.

The Tikka is a very nice rifle. I prefer the Browning xbolt a bit. Can't go wrong with either 308 or 30-06

7mm 08 is dandy for moose and elk as well. A 243 is a bit light for anything bigger than deer in my mind simply because if I mess up a shot it'll have a much better chance of breaking the shoulder.

I love my savage axis in 30-06. Has pepper laminate boyd's thumbhole stock, glass bedded, dnz one piece scope mount and a vortex crossfire 4-12x44mm scope bdc reticle. And the ubiquitous diy trigger job.

Everyone shits on the axis, but I outshoot guys with much nicer set ups at every competition I've gone to and couldn't be happier.
