HI Ball,
Your on the money. There are many perfect deer rifles out there. I have killed several with a 243. My 10 year old has killed 4 with 4 shots and you cant convince him its not perfect.
Ive killed several with a 30-30 too. That was my first gun and killed my first two deer on the same morning with it, when I was 11. You couldnt have convinced me then that the 30-30 wasnt the berries for deer.
Im just messin around on this thread. Some people get so worked up about certain things, its all in good fun.
Good to check in for a chuckle a time or two a day.
Andy
