DANA WHATS YOUR READ ON THE BEST CALIBER FOR ANTELOPE, I DREW OUT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND POPPED ONE WITH MY 7MMAG, 200 YARDS THROUGH THE HEART, RUINED ABOUT HALF THE MEAT, I DREW OUT AGAIN THIS YEAR, I HAVE A 308 (I THINK THATS TO BIG) AND A 270, MAYBE I NEED SOMETHING A BIT SMALLER, ANY RECCOMENDATIONS BRO

I COME FROM THE OLD SCHOOL AND LOVE AND USE THE 257 ROBERTS. HOWEVER AS I TEACH IN HUNTER SAFTY THERE ARE AS MANY OPTIONS AS HUNTERS. I.E. I TELL THEM TO CHECK THE CHARTS AND MAKE YOUR OWN CHIOCE. BEAUTY IS IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER.

JUST LOOKING THROUGH MY GAME RIFLES AND FORGOT I HAD MY FATHERS GAMEMASTER IN 300 SAVAGE, 40 YEAR OLD 3X9 REDFIELD, WHATS YOUR OPINION ON THAT CALIBER FOR DEER AND ANTELOPE?

DANA · 04-15-2003, 06:48 AM

THE 300 SAVAGE HAD A LONG RUN IN A NUMBER OF MAKES. THERE ARE MANY WHO STILL THINK IT IS ONE OF THE BEST. MOST WILL NOT USE IT BEYOND MEDIUM RANGE ..GOOD WOODS GUN SO MUCH FOR MY TWO CENTS WORTH.

THE CHANGES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE ARE BAISED ON GENERAL USAGE OVER TIME. NEEDS ARE MET BY NEW CARTRIGES. A WHOLE SERIES WERE DESIGNED AROUND THE SAVAGE MOD 99. ONE THAT WAS ALMOST BEFORE ITS TIME WAS THE 22 HI POWER. ALL WERE BAISED ON NEDIUM LENGTH SHELLS I.E. 250/3000
