My pard has a super-light 84M Varmint. I'm wondering too about the 204 and the 45 Horn....but with pigs.

If you could land some bowhunting ground, I would think a 33 gr. TSX would drill a splendid "pilot" hole for an arrow...

I'm just sayin..... whistle

At this stage, for deer, where does one go for under .224 bores?

Sure ain't here with our antlerless rifle season.

It probably would but a 257 Roberts does it with such more Class, or so I've been told.....(grin)

there are a lot of good picks between the 6mm and 6.5 mm realm..

my first pick is the 260 Rem....but like the 6mm Rem, the 257 Roberts, 250 Savage...all of these cartridges are not only good to 200 yds, but are fine out to 400 yds in the hands of a good rifleman..

I'd tend to lean toward short action myself..

Unless things have changed recently, Texas law says that "centerfires" are legal for whitetails.

Call me boring, but I'm a sucker for the 270 Winchester, 7mm-08 Remington, 7x57, and 280 Remington.

I would think a .300Savage with corlokt or nbt would be pretty efficient at that range and under.

That about sums it up........next!




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

If you're looking for a light recoiling, reliable deer killer up to 200 yards, while the .270 Winchester is undeniably a performer and always will be, there are better options specifically regarding the recoil department.

A .243 or a .250 Savage gets my vote for sure given the parameters in the OP's post...

agreed the 270 is wonderful, then if your recoil sensitive a .243, 6mm Rem, 257 Roberts, 250 Savage, 260 rem.

I have both 270 and Roberts, the 270 usually stays home.

I cannot remember who made this comment maybe John Barnes...the 243 is more Varmint-Deer and the 257 roberts is more Deer-Varmint or something to that effect. If you reload the Roberts all the way.
