[QUOTE="david k., post: 5716626, member: 10555"] Any medium caliber rifle on the market will kill an antelope…they are light skinned with nothing tough about them. I’m “old school” so of the ones you listed I’d personally go with the 7-08 only because of the availability of ammo if I happen to run out or forgot to pack it…and because of the wide range of bullets in 7mm that are available for reloaders. Between my brother, hunting buddies, and I we killed a pile of antelope back in the day…Ranges were probably out to past 350 yards (pre-rangefinder days….) and we killed them all with these calibers. 243, 270, 280, 30-06 7 mag and a 300WM (most of them are actually overkill but some years we were on a combo mule deer / antelope hunt). This pic is from the early 90’s when I wasn’t so old and fat…we had FREE access to an 86,000 acre ranch in SE Wyoming and the 4 of us all had antelope buck and doe tags that year. We filled all our tags….those were “the good ole days!” [/QUOTE]
