Which short action chambering for all around hunting?

You are incorrigible man......

When you bringing a fast stepper or two down to put a few miles on?

300 Savage

7mm-08

Lol....we need to do that pretty soon. Was just talking to Fred (Steele saddle Fred) about going for a weekend somewhere.

Hey how about this....pm sent. Because you wouldn't know I sent one of I didn't tell you here...grin.

Thanks for the recommendations fellas. I'll read about them on he Internet and see what I can come up with.

I already have a 300 it's big. You must be thinking of a 308

I have a .300 savage on a 700 action.. Honestly I really like it.. I don't use it much in Wy. but for woods hunting it is great..

Have a 7mm-08 also, but it isn't as much fun as the .300..

I've heard the 223AI was decent.

Not sure myself though. Maybe someone can start a thread about it and get everyone's opinion on it.

I like the 223AI but I might need to shoot a deer sometimes. It's not even legal in every state to shoot deers with 22 cals. Thanks though.

That'd be UBER !

Then the 340 Tyrannosaurus is your best bet.

Yea it sounds big enough but I like to be able to buy new shells at every store I see. You know incase I leave town and don't take enough shells

I could see it growing legs.

Lol

If you always leave your gun loaded it's never a problem.

You can get one more if you always have one in the chamber.

That's a great idea. Thanks.

While not as popular for hunting these days "tacti-cool kids stole all the thunder", a 308 Winchester is flat out a great round that kills stuff with no fuss.

.284 Win or .338 RCM

No problem.

Just don't do it with a 700, I have one light off about once a week in the closet.

700's are junk. I thought it went without saying I'd need crf for hunting.

I should mention I need a real good bullet. In the event I make a poor shot and have to recover the animal the next day I want it to be wounded enough I can still find it....after breakfast.

I can tell you've really researched this.

CRF is a must, you never know when you'll have to shoot a big toothy bear while doing a tactical double back flip with a 1/2 gainer in TN.

The 7mm WSM or the 270 WSM. I have both in 8400 Montana's.

It pays to be prepared...plus I have the Internet.

You're a idiot. Please don't reply to my post. This is a serious conversation.

If your going to use premium bullets I'd read up on them first. I've read on the internet the boxes can be a bitch.

Guess that disqualifies my recommendation for the 358 Win.

It's ok. Go ahead an order a couple of boxes. Experts here on the 'Fire can help walk you through getting the boxes unlocked. Kinda a Rubik's cube thang.

7mm or 300 WSM.

You need to define "for all around hunting". All around TN? US? North America? World? The requirement that you need to be able to buy ammo at every store you see limits your choices seriously. .308 Winchester might be the best way to go.

They all do pretty well...tough to beat a 308 130s for deer and 180 for bigger stuff..7-08 would be choice also...

308 is very versatile. 7mm-08 will do 90% of anything needin' doin' in NA. As always, it's the bullet that matters most.

If its truly all around you have to include Zombies. So it must be on an AR platform

308 in general.

300WSM if you know you need it and can handle it well.

What kinda shells y'all like?

338 Win Mag.

He said SHORT action. I'd like to say .308 Win, but we all know that's WAY under powered so...

I'll go with the .458X2" American. That's probably even enough for Fox Squirrels(using solids of course).

.308.....
