[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 5636785, member: 20424"] Clearly the answer is a 460 Weatherby. Seriously though there are generally 3 ways of hunting deer: ambushing them up close like inside woods, shooting them farther away like across a bean field, or jump shooting / shooting close in at running deer (like in front of dogs) In the woods a light, small short action is nice. That’s why guys like the 30-30 etc. I have a small bolt action .357 mag that works wonders in that setting. I like a scoped gun even in that situation but with a low power setting of 2x or less. Across a bean field? So many choices like 25-06, 270, 308, 30-06, 6.5CM, 7mm mag, 300wm, you name it they all work well. Of course any of those also work in the woods , it’s just that there’s something kinda nice about carrying a small light rifle in the woods. Jump shooting or hunting with dogs? Buckshot is king of that scenario. Just like rabbit hunting but with a much larger rabbit. Just thinking about that kind of hunting brings back some fond memories . [/QUOTE]
