Custom Mule Deer Rifle - The Right Caliber?

[silvertip-co]

as long as money was no object i'd go with a 7 Rem Ultra Mag or 7mm STW.

I was just fondling a 257 Weatherby in an ultralight model thinking what a great deer rifle it would be. The only bad thing is the trigger. It functions as a bolt stop too and is hard to alter to get a crisp consistent break. A trigger should be a trigger!! The 7mm RUM is another consideration if you want to tag things way out there. Good assortment of bullets too.

I vote for the .308. If Marine snipers use it it's good enough for me.

What is the best mule deer cal. or rifle? This one subject that I ponderd for many years.

There is no best, just a whole lot of more than acceptanle choices from the 257 Robert's up.

It is amazing how much input and personal opinions come up with the topic of a Mule Deer rifle. There is a wealth of knowledge and good info here. I have my own preferences like everyone else but I beleive if you take much of this shared knowlege on this post and are picky while shopping everyone can find their own perfect deer rifle. Just remember everyone is different so find what feels and fits you the best.

I'll just stick with the .270 Remington 700, it treats me good did i tell you guys i shot a doe this year and killed it at 250 yards with my .22-250, ha good times, and the bullets on that .22-250 were 50 grain Barnes Varmit Grenades

my choice would be 280 Ackley improved.
