[QUOTE="Bishop, post: 512423, member: 26163"] Some people shoot groundhogs at 800 yards and even farther. How far you can do it depends on how good you an your equipment are. 223's while they will certainly kill a deer with precise shot placement are not quite optimal for deer. Some people have problems killing coyote's quickly with 223's. Add possible deer hungint in other states in addition to varmint hunting and the standard calibers that come to mind are .243 win 25-06 7mm-08 .308 .280rem .270win or anything in between The 280 and 270 are getting on up there in size and may be more than you want. If anyone I personally know approached me and asked me "hey i want a coyote/groundhog/deer rifle what should i get" my answer to them would be "get a .243 or a 25-06 either or. [/QUOTE]
