personal op 223 he can reload if he wants or tons of factory,no probs and cheap as chips
I have never seen the attraction of the .22 centre fire for deer. Why limit yourself? What if another species steps out during his stalk? Personally I would rather have a deer legal calibre (by that I mean .240 or above) conditioned for vermin.
Not sure that's the best way of looking at it as you won't miss the other ,50 per cent you will probably only miss 10 and wing 40 ,that just my h,o .and he doesn't want a bigger gun as he goose around a lot of farms after vermin but often see,s a muntjac and could trim them up but there is usually a deer stalker who manages the deer so does not want to interfere with what they are doing ,but Munties are shoot on site Aound here and farmers greatly appreciated them being shot
Agree. I won't have a centrefire that I can't shoot a red or sika with. Regards JCS
Ok so it's going to be a 222 any suggestions on rifle choice ,and how available are the bullets what seems to work the best?
for a lot less try a tikka 595 in 222, cost not a lot and will leave you some cash for a nice scope.
