[QUOTE="PillsburyDoughboy, post: 5604118, member: 14197"] Has anyone in this thread actually hunted Antelope? One of the biggest factors in a rifle for most hunters is going to be lightweight and good optics. Chances are you are going to be doing more spotting and stalking than you are going to be shooting. A successful hunt is probably going to depend on alot of things. Having a rifle with good quality glass with some sort of drop or dial system is probably going to be better than using some sort of kentucky windage system or using drop charts. A good Trigger , some range time getting to know your rifle off the bench , a laser range finder, getting in shape so you are prepared to walk and chase after them when ready will go a long way to a successful hunt. Chambering should really be a much lower priority as anything. .243 and up should be more than adequate for the task matched with the proper bullet selection. [/QUOTE]
