[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1737638, member: 78056"] Depends on my mood... I do love my Win. 270 but the .308 works just as well. My Savage .243, if I could get it to shoot better, would be a good deer killer. Even the 30-30 will get it done closer in. Of course the '06 works, too. I suppose in a pinch I could drag out the .338 WM (I've used it to bust bunnies in the desert, why not blow the livin' snot out of deer, too?) but even I will admit it might be a bit much for deer. I suppose if I were in some kind of pinch I could take the AR 20" upper and use a 60 gr. Partition or 65 gr. GameKing (with no intention of using the AR to hunt, I've not tried the Partition. However, I loaded some 65 GameKings for a friend and they shot quite well out of my 16" upper). I might be able to get the 65 gr. bullets to stabilize if I were to push them hard enough out of the 1:14 CheetaH... If things got really bad I guess I could even hoist a BFR* up a tree and try for one that way! Just about anything will work! ("Here Bambi, come on Bambi..." Thump!)
