I like my Remington 870 with a slug barrel, or a good .44 or .45 handgun.
I've taken deer with: 22lr, 0000 Buck, 243, 257 Weatherby Mag, 6.5X55, 260, 270, 7mm TCU, 300 Savage, 30-06, 300 WSM, 357 Mag, 44 Mag, 45 Long Colt, plus 45 and 50 caliber Muzzleloaders. Every one was up to the job. I only mention the 22LR because the statute of limitations went out 45 years ago.What is the best gun for deer in your opinion? 243? 30-06? 7.62 series? other?
Why do people always start these argumentative discussions?
Thanks, I feel welcomeOh...and since nobody else has yet, let me be the first to welcome you to THR! Hope to see you around more!
You can add .284 WInchester and 7mm-08 to the list.Well if you like going a little old school, thousands upon thousands of deer have been taken with a nice Savage 99. They came in 22 HP, 25-35, 303 Sav, 32-40, 30-30, 38-55, 300 Sav, 250 Sav for the oldies and 22-250, 243, 308, 358 for so-called modern rounds over their production years.
