Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .243 Win. or .250 Savage?

I guess it all boils down to being 6 of one and a half dozen of another. Whatever works for you will be just fine. No need to split hairs. Deer are thin skinned and relatively easy to kill if they are unalarmed. Here's a model 14 American Classic in 250 Savage. I bought it to have the faster twist for heavier bullets. It also did the job with Winchester factory 100 grain silvertips. This rifle doesn't "crank me up" like the nostalgic Savages do, but it DOES the deed.
