Re: What's a good rifle for hunting all ungulates??
I was in a local shop today that sells some hunting & fishing supplies. Under glass at the counter, there are a few pictures of people showing their catch of the day, some fish, some deer. One of the pictures is of a young fellow, about 12 years showing of a nice whitetail buck.
Anyhow, I moved further into the store and was looking at some knives when a voice from slightly to the side and behind me asked if I hunted and fished. Turning, I was confronted by the lad whose picture I had just viewed. Said I did and with that he hauled out his smart phone to proudly show me the picture of his deer. I asked him where he got it and the the smart answer was, "Between the ribs." "Ha ha" I laughed and with that he told me where he got it. I asked him what he shot it with and he told me a Weatherby Vangaurd in 7Rem Mag with a Leopold scope, his very own. I asked him if it kicked and he said no worse than a 25-06. I then asked if he the length of pull altered for him and he had not.
So, what's the point you ask. Well, the person who started this thread wanted to know which rifle would be good. I have to think that given the above story, the o/p could not go wrong with a 7 Rem Mag and in the Weatherby Vanguard as not a bad choice.
