[QUOTE="ReLes, post: 2002165, member: 115880"] That's a lot of answers ! Thanks for your Time everyone. Seems that I'll have to seriously look at ammo availability and diversity. .270 is the most used here, 7-08 and 308 are also consistently available, it's just that the choice won't be as broad. I haven't looked at the other cartridges suggested here, I'll have to look into it. Rebarelling coule be an option, but FYI gunsmiths are really rare here, there are only 2 on the whole Island who will do a bedding job, and they charge at least 250 of your dollars for it. 22-250 is pretty common, as are numerous varmint calibers. Head and neckshots are the norm here, and hunting deer with a .22LR, 204 ruger or even .17hmr isn't that much surprising. Here is a fine example (that's not me) [MEDIA=youtube]Aab6E3roiRc[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
