[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 679087, member: 51405"] Looking for a soft shooting rifle for deer, shooting out to 300 yards at most. This will be my son's first rifle in several yrs so soft shooter is very important, and ideally will be something that brings different strengths to the table than the 270 I already have. *I also don't reload so I want something that will be too tough to find ammo. *I would also like to have a bolt action so some of the lever action calibers are out. I know bullet placement is as / more important than caliber, but at the same time I want something with margin of error built in. I am researching various options now but thought I would throw it out there for some experts to chime in with suggestions. *I am primarily looking at these options... 243 - seems to be a little small for some larger deer 25-06 - seems like a good choice but very similar to 270. *But maybe that is fine 7mm-08 - another good choice but tougher to find ammo and less ammo selection 260 - same as above Thoughts from the experts? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
