fatfootdoc Report post Posted February 14, 2008 I have shot deer with 30-06, 300 wsm, 22-250, 270 and 257 weatherby, the 257 weatherby kicks all their butts, followed closely by the 30-06. The key is to find the gun you like and use it until you own it and then hunt with it all the time. Now , I would not use the 257 for elk or any like size game.

AzTrapper Report post Posted February 14, 2008 Yup everyone is right what they shoot is the best! I stick with my "old" 300 H&H, After hunting with the same rifle since 1972 I know what it will do from getting to know it. I have shot deer with others as well from even a little 22 cal. to 45/120 and they all will do the job. But the best rifle is one you learn how and know how to shoot AzTrapper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatfootdoc Report post Posted February 15, 2008 Lark, If I start using my 257 for elk then I might try and talk you into using a 257 and then we would have to argue for years about it because we both know that there is no way you are going to switch and I am always going to know how much better of a shot you would be if you used a real rifle and I would really want to make you aware of it!! ag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikep35 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 Another vote for the 25/06! Now the best all around, versatile gun I would have to give to the .270 but you can't beat a 25/06 for coues! One shot one kill! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.270 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 if .270's ain't the best then why have so many famous folks advocated em? "give me a .270 or give me death" "i shot down the cherry tree with my .270" "i have not yet begun to use my .270" "four score and two seventy ago..." "speak softly and carry a .270" "remember the .270" "we're gonna need a .270" "this is a .270, the most powerful gun in the world, do you feel lucky? well, do ya punk?" "i'll be back, with my .270" "it's a trick, they have a .270" "E=MC.270" "we know saddam has a .270" "run custer, they have a .270" Lark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
