It's not ethical but it could be done. Back in the day my grandfather hunted with nothing but his 22 LR, and that was when if you didn't get a deer dinner was pretty light.... the 1940s... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters (mostly farmers) literally wiped out the Iowa deer population in the 30's and 40's for sustenance. In the 50's they had to bring in trapped deer from other states to reestablish the population. I think we traded wild turkeys for them. Now Iowa is one of the most desired deer tags in the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 If I had to choose any caliber to own for everything it would be the .300 wsm. Such a bad ass round. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hunting buddies rather would never take deer meat,only moose meat. He grew up in a large family in rural Manitoba and said he grew up eating deer meat and had enough for his lifetime.

Does everything a .300 win mag will do with less recoil , less powder and short action. It’s just a treat to shoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one caliber that almost pulled me away from my trusty 7mm mag. The only thing that stopped me was the price and availability of ammo in my area. Just ridiculous prices IF you can find them.

Must be a special match grade model or something. They are beautiful guns. I was lucky to snag mine. It was in the local pawn shop. Left hand model. I traded him an ar15 chambered in .224 Valkyrie which I absolutely hated plus $100 going his way for it. I think I had $550 in the ar. I’m guessing this a-bolt is worth $1300-1400 now. I wish I had spent every nickel on guns 5 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
