play4pride Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 For the short shots I also like the 30-30, but I also use a .243. For my longer shots which don't come up very often in my case I use a 30-06 or a 25-06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerfootball Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I love my Remington 700 7MM Mag. for ANY situation! I also think the 30-06 is a good all around deer rifle, hunted with one for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda1 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 My caliber of choice is the 308 Winchester. I also like the 270. I plan on going to the new 300 Winchester short magnum when I go for game larger than elk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstorm Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I use the same gun for all those situations. A 270 remington model 700. An awesome gun to use for long range, short range, thick brush, just about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram95 Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Originally posted by bargedawg I dont want to sound argumentive but is this neccasary :confused: Just kidding around, those are military Rifles that I would prefer to have in those situations, if I were in combat. Sorry but I find overkill humorous, when I see guys taking these huge guns with them hunting when all they need is a 22 or a bow I think it is funny. I was seeing if anyone else felt the same way. Sorry if I offended you, I was just teaseing. I prefer a remington 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
