Beanfield gun what caliber would yours be ?

I like the look of the new Browning AB3. I like new stuff. It would, of course, be chambered in .270 Winchester to fit with it's safe buddies. All right, the caliber is not so new... The rifle is not too expensive either.

25-06 sounds about right. Rem 700 CDL.

My Brother in Laws Beanfield Rifle is a Jarret in 280 AI. Nice gun and plenty accurate. I shoot the same fields with a 18" Ruger 30-06. The deer never seemed to notice.

BTW - While my BIL does have a farm with Beanfield distances (600-800 yards if desired), he says I'm the only one whose shot longer than 100 yards; and that only at targets. While the "Beanfield" concept is fun to dream and talk about, the stands at several properties he hunts are all set for 30-200 yard shots.

I can say by way of experience that taking a deer at 300+ yards in a big standing soy bean field is way easier than finding it after it goes down.

You are right about that Hopkins. I have shot alot of deer in the bean fields with a trusty 30-06 as a younger fellow. I now hunt with a 6.5CM. Its alot easier to handle and shoots very accurate. I came up with a system to find the deer. You have to line your stand with a tree in the background and then guess your range. It works, but I have almost tripped over them in tall beans.
