[QUOTE="El Jagermeister, post: 3359900, member: 13676"] For me, it is terrain/situation dependent. I probably won't attempt a shot on a deer past 200 yds. I hunt an area that has field shot possibilities out to 3x past that range. If I hunt another field on the same land, anything that comes out of the treeline is within range. And if I go up the ridge behind me, I need a short, handy, fast handling brush gun. So I take a FN Supreme .243, and a Saiga 12 w/slugs, or a Marlin 30-30, and I can hunt with any of them because the wind tells me where I am hunting that day/time of day. If I had a .308, I would use it instead of the .243 [/QUOTE]
