"Perfect" deer caliber/rifle...lol......

[Hi Ball]

Andy L.......In the 60's I relied on the 222 for the small critters around the country side and soon set aside my .270 and 30-06 for a new love. A new Belgium Browning Safari 300 win mag for the big game animals of my future hunts, as that lastled for the next 20 or so years. I was never disappointed hunting with that rifle, once I learned it's true purpose and that was long range work for them most part on mule deer, elk, moose and bears alike.

Some time later in the early 80's, I got an itch and just had to scratch er some. So I stopped by the local gun store and brought home another model 70. Only this time it was a medium bore in the form of the .338 win mag. Now that is not to say that during those couple of decades, also picked up a bakers dozen or so of calibers up and down the spectrum. Including a half dozen wildcats as well.

Now just before the next century came onto the scene, I noticed a turning of events that lead me to believe, that the person who stated history has a way of repeating itself, certainly knew what he was talking about. I had already gone full circle in the line of rifle caliber's! I never gave much thought to such a happening as a young hunter. However, I can only say it has been a joyous experience to be quite frank. Shooting a 270, 25-06, 6.5, 30-06 or the Triple Deuce, still puts a smile on my face.
